BREAD. 


O  PART  of  home  cookery  requires  as  much  skill  as  bread  mak- 
ing. The  art  of  making  good  bread  can  only  be  attained  by 
patient  care  and  watchfulness.  It  is  not  necessarily  a  difficult 
task ;  yet  I  will  venture  to  say  that  there  are  a  large  proportion  of  young 
American  housekeepers  who  can  make  a  good  cake  and  prepare  a 
delicious  dessert,  that  cannot  make  a  good  loaf  of  bread. 

Bread  making  should  be  one  of  the  first  lessons  taught.  What  is 
more  conducive  to  conjugal  quarrels  than  heavy,  sour  bread?  No 
article  of  food  is  as  essential  as  good  bread.  With  good  bread  in  the 
house  no  one  need  ever  go  hungry.  No  meal,  no  matter  how  much  is 
prepared  for  it,  is  complete  without  it.  Good  wheat  flour  is  the  basis  of 
good  bread.  The  best  flour  is  not  of  a  pure  white  color,  but  has  a 
creamy,  yellowish  white  tinge.  Never  buy  flour  that  looks  blue  white. 
If  it  feels  clammy  or  forms  in  lumps  it  is  not  of  the  best.  Good  flour 
holds  together  in  a  mass  and  adheres  to  the  hand ;  and  when  squeezed 
retains  the  imprint  of  the  fingers,  and  even  the  lines  of  the  skin,  longer 
than  poor  flour  when  made  into  dough.  If  good  it  will  be  elastic  and 
take  up  a  large  quantity  of  water,  and  stay  in  shape  longer.  Poor 
flour  will  flatten  and  spread.  Never  use  flour  without  sifting.  Keep 
it  in  a  dry,  cool  place  and  not  a  great  quantity  of  any  kind  on  hand, 
as  it  is  very  apt  to  become  musty.  There  are  two  ways  of  making 
bread  by  fermentation,  and  bread  made  without  fermentation.  By 
fermentation  we  mean  the  setting  free  of  carbonic  gas,  which  spreads 
rapidly  through  the  whole  mass  of  dough,  and  causes  it  to  rise  by  the 
rapid  multiplication  of  new  air  cells  upon  those  already  formed. 
Yeast  causes  the  process  of  fermentation.  The  cells  in  the  yeast  plant 
are  very  small  and  when  the  temperature  is  such  as  to  cause  them  to 
grow  rapidly,  and  coming  in  contact  with  any  substance  like  dough, 
they  increase  so  rapidly  that  the  whole  mixture  is  filled  with  them. 
Sour  milk  and  soda  cause  the  same  process  to  take  place.  Baking 
powders  cause  the  dough  to  rise  quickly.  The  importance  of  having 
good  yeast  is  readily  seen .  What  is  yeast  ?  Yeast  is  a  plant  or  germ  of 
the  lowest  order  of  vegetable  growth.  It  contains  numberless  minute 
oval  cells ;  each  cell  contains  a  sap.  They  multiply  by  millions  very 
rapidly.     These  are  propagated  in  anything  where  they  find  congenial

tood.  Grape  juice  in  two  hours'  standing  in  a  warm  place  will  give  off 
a  froth  of  yeast  cells.  Bread  made  with  yeast  is  much  more  porous, 
lighter,  and  pleasanter  to  the  taste,  and  much  more  easily  digested. 
Good  bread  should  be  of  a  light  spongy  texture,  and  to  get  this  we  al- 
low the  bread,  under  the  influence  of  the  yeast,  to  expand  as  much  as 
possible  without  becoming  sour.  Unfermented  bread  is  made  without 
yeast.  The  principle  is  the  same,  being  the  liberation  of  gas.  The 
usual  method  is  by  some  gas  generating  compound,  as  the  union  of 
soda  and  sour  milk.  When  chemicals  used  are  in  such  a  proportion 
that  they  are  neutralized  and  leave  only  Eochelle  salt,  this  bread  is 
harmless  but  not  so  palatable  and  digestable  as  yeast  bread.  The  three 
essential  elements  of  good  bread  are  good  yeast,  the  best  flour  and  an 
even  temperature.  There  are  three  kinds  of  yeast,  any  of  them  are 
good ;  dry,  compressed  and  liquid.  Compressed  yeast  is  only  good 
when  it  can  be  obtained  fresh.  Potato  yeast  is  the  best,  as  bread  made 
from  it  does  not  dry  up  so  quickly  and  is  sweeter  and  more  nutritious. 
First  set  your  sponge.  This  is  made  from  warm  water  or  milk, 
yeast  and  flour.  If  you  do  not  use  potato  yeast,  use  the  water  in  which 
the  potatoes  were  cooked  at  dinner  time,  or  add  a  few  potatoes  mashed 
and  run  through  a  sieve.  In  winter  make  the  water  or  milk  quite 
warm.  In  summer  have  it  lukewarm.  Do  not  sponge  too  early  in 
the  evening,  as  the  sponge  is  apt  to  stand  too  long  before  it  is  mixed 
and  kneaded.  If  compressed  yeast  is  used  (this  is  one  of  the  most 
rapid  forms  of  fermentation),  sponge  before  breakfast.  Use  about 
one  cup  of  liquid  yeast  to  one  quart  of  wetting.  If  compressed  yeast 
is  used,  use  one-half  a  cake  to  the  same  quantity.  If  milk  is  used, 
scald  to  prevent  its  souring.  In  winter  warm  the  flour  and  all  dishes 
used.  Keep  the  temperature  even ;  about  75  degrees  should  be  kept 
up  during  the  entire  process.  Mix  as  soon  as  the  sponge  has  risen  to 
the  proper  point.  You  can  tell  this  by  its  light,  puffy  appearance,  the 
middle  standing  higher  than  the  sides.  If  it  looks  fallen  in  the  middle, 
it  has  stood  too  long.  Knead  well,  and  thoroughly  for  at  least  twenty 
minutes.  This  is  very  important.  Knead  until  the  mass  of  dough  feels 
light,  spongy  and  elastic  under  the  hand.  To  knead  the  bread  well 
requires  strength  and  patience.  A  little  sugar  is  necessary  to  bread, 
and  if  the  bread  is  made  of  water,  a  little  shortening  of  some  kind. 
A  word  about  the  baking.  This  is  one  of  the  important  parts  of  the 
whole  process.  The  excellence  of  the  bread  is  greatly  dependent 
upon  the  perfection  of  the  cells  produced  by  the  action  of  heat  upon 
carbonic  acid  gas.  The  oven  should  be  hot  when  the  bread  is  put  in. 
The  heat  should  be  of  sufficient  strength  to  last  through  the  time  of 
baking  (which    is  always  about  one   hour   for  an  ordinary  loaf  of 

b 


COMMON  SENSE  COOK  BOOK. 


bread),  without  replenishing.  It  should  increase  at  first,  then 
diminish  slowly  toward  the  last.  If  the  oven  is  too  hot  a  hard  brown 
crust  will  form  and  make  the  inside  heavy.  Do  not  remove  before  it 
is  done  or  the  mass  will  be  heavy  and  raw  inside.  The  dough  should 
rise  after  fifteen  minutes  and  brown  slightly.  Remove  the  loaves 
from  the  pans  at  once,  as  soon  as  the  time  is  up,  and  place  them 
where  the  air  can  circulate  around  freely.  Turn  the  loaves  out  on  a 
clean  tea  towel.  Do  not  put  away  until  cold,  and  then  in  a  stone  jar 
or  a  tin  box.  Keep  the  jar  well  covered  to  prevent  the  bread  from 
drying. 

Potato  Yeast 

Have  three  quarts  of  water  boiling  rapidly.  Pare  three  raw 
potatoes,  and  let  them  soak  awhile  in  cold  water.  Mix  one- fourth  of  a 
cup  of  flour  with  one-fourth  of  a  cup  of  sugar  and  one  tablespoon  of 
salt.  Grate  the  potatoes,  and  add  them  to  the  flour,  sugar  and  salt. 
Pour  the  boiling  water  on  them.  Pour  part  of  it  on  the  grater. 
Add  water  enough  to  make  the  yeast  the  consistency  of  thin  starch. 
If  this  does  not  thicken  cook  awhile.  Strain  and  cool.  When  luke- 
warm add  one  cup  of  yeast.  Put  in  a  warm  place  until  the  top  is 
covered  with  bubbles.  Beat  it  well.  Cover  tighly,  and  keep  in  a  cool 
place.  Add  a  little  ginger ;  it  improves  it,  and  helps  to  keep  the 
yeast. 

Bread  Sponge. 

Take  three  potatoes,  boiled,  and  mashed  while  hot,  and  dissolved 
in  one  quart  of  warm  water,  or  one  quart  of  potato  water.  Into  this 
stir  three  cups  of  flour,  and  six  tablespoons  of  good  yeast.  Beat  to  a 
smooth  batter.  Set  over  night.  In  the  morning  add  a  tablespoon  of 
white  sugar,  a  large  tablespoon  of  white  lard  or  butter.  Knead  well 
for  twenty  minutes,  and  set  to  rise.  Knead  down  once  more,  and 
when  light  mold  into  loaves,  and  let  it  rise  again  very  light.  In  place 
of  liquid  yeast  use  one-half  a  cake  of  compressed  yeast  or  dry  yeast. 

Hop  Yeast. 

Steep  half  |a  cup  of  loose  hops  in  one  quart  of  boiling  water  five 
minutes.  Mix  one  cup  of  flour,  one-fourth  of  a  cup  of  sugar,  and  one 
tablespoon  of  salt.  Strain  the  hops  and  pour  the  liquor  boiling  on  the 
flour.  Boil  a  minute.  Add  a  cup  of  yeast  when  cool,  and  put  in  a 
warm  place  to  ferment.  c

of  salt.  "When  lukewarm  add  one-half  a  cup  of  liquid  yeast  or  a  small 
half  a  cake  of  compressed  yeast,  and  six  cups  of  flour.  Let  it  rise. 
When  light  knead  until  very  smooth  and  elastic.  Let  it  rise  again,  and 
when  light  mold  into  loaves.  When  light  bake  in  a  steady  oven  an 
hour.     The  time  of  course  depends  on  the  size  of  the  loaves. 

Rye  Bread. 

Pour  one  pint  of  scalded  milk  on  one  tablespoonful  each  of  butter 
and  sugar,  and  one  teaspoonfulof  salt ;  when  lukewarm  add  half  a  cup 
of  yeast.  Stir  in  three  cups  of  rye  flour  or  rye  meal.  Beat  well,  let  it 
rise  over  night ;  in  the  morning  add  two  cups  of  flour,  and  knead  half  a 
hour.  Let  it  rise  again,  and  mold  into  loaves  and  put  to  rise  again ; 
let  it  rise  the  last  time  very  light. 

Raised  Brown  Bread. 

Put  one  pint  of  cornmeal  in  a  bowl  and  scald  it  with  boiling  water 
enough  to  wet  it.  Let  it  stand  awhile,  then  add  cold  water  enough 
to  make  a  soft  batter.  Now  add  half  a  cup  of  yeast,  one-half  a  cup  of 
molasses,  one-half  a  teaspoon  of  salt,  and  one  saltspoon  of  soda,  one 
pint  of  rye  meal.  Beat  thoroughly  and  let  the  mixture  rise  over  night ; 
in  the  morning  stir  it  down  and  put  it  in  a  well  greased  tin ;  let  it  rise 
again.     Bake  in  a  slow  oven  two  hours. 

Steamed  Brown  Bread. 

Oue  egg,  one  cup  of  molasses,  four  cups  of  sour  milk,  one  table- 
spoon of  shortning,  two  teaspocnfuls  of  soda.  Beat  well  together  and 
add  two  cups  of  flour,  and  four  cups  of  cornmeal ;  steam  four  hours, 
and  bake  fifteen  minutes  in  a  quick  oven.     Serve  hot  with  baked  beans. 

Graham  Bread. 

Take  one  pint  of  good  potato  sponge,  add  one  pint  lukewarm  water, 
one  cup  of  brown  sugar,  teaspoon  of  salt ;  add  Graham  flour  enough  to 
make  a  stiff  batter ;  put  in  baking  tins  and  let  the  mixture  rise  again. 
Bake  in  aslow  oven,  and  when  done  wrap  in  a  towel  and  let  it  steam. 

Eastern  Brown  Bread. 

One  cup  of  white  cornmeal,  one  cup  of  rye  flour,  one  cup  of  Graham 
flour,  one  teaspoon  of  salt,  one  teaspoon  of  soda,  one-half  cup  of

Quick  Corn  Bread. 

One  pint  of  cornmeal,  one  pint  of  buttermilk,  one  egg,  one  teaspoon 
soda,  one  of  salt ;  beat  all  together  and  bake  in  a  dripping  pan.  A 
tablespoon  of  sugar  improves  it. 

Bean  Bread. 

In  the  place  of  potatoes  in  bread  reduce  a  pint  of  beans  by  boiling 
to  a  pulp.  Extract  the  moisture  and  use  the  pulp  in  the  sponge.  Par- 
snips and  sweet  potatoes  may  be  used  in  the  same  way. 

Salt  Rising  Bread. 

Take  one  pint  of  boiling  water  and  a  teaspoon  of  salt,  when  luke- 
warm stir  in  flour  enough  to  make  rather  a  stiff  batter.  Put  it  where 
it  will  be  very  warm  overnight,  in  the  morning  set  it  in  a  kettle  of  very 
warm  water,  stir  frequently,  add  half  a  teaspoon  of  soda  dissolved  in 
some  warm  water,  stir  well  and  leave  to  rise ;  when  the  dish  is  nearly 
full  put  a  quantity  of  flour  in  the  bread  pan,  put  in  a  quart  of  water, 
quite  warm,  stir  in  some  of  the  flour  and  then  the  rising  batter,  cover 
this  with  flour  an  inch  thick  and  put  in  a  warm  place  ;  when  light  make 
into  loaves  and  put  to  rise  again.  Bake  in  a  well  heated  oven  nearly 
an  hour. 

Vienna  Bread. 

Take  three  pints  of  milk  and  water,  teaspoon  of  salt,  one  cup  of 
compressed  yeast,  two  quarts  of  flour.  Place  the  flour  in  a  bread  bowl, 
and  put  in  the  milk,  water  and  salt.  Make  a  thin  batter.  Add  the 
yeast  dissolved  in  a  little  lukewarm  water.  Beat  well  and  cover  the 
bowl  and  let  it  stand  for  three-quarters  of  an  hour.  At  the  end  of  that 
time  mix  in  the  rest  of  the  flour.  Let  the  dough  stand  for  three  hours 
until  it  is  light  and  elastic.  Cut  into  small  pieces.  Flatten  these  into 
squares,  fold  their  corners  to  the  center,  pinch  them  down  to  hold  them. 
Let  them  stand  for  ten  minutes,  turn  them  over  again  and  let  them 
stand  a  while  longer.  Put  them  in  a  hot  oven.  When  they  have  risen, 
brush  them  with  a  sponge  wet  with  milk,  return  to  oven  and  finish 
baking.

BREAKFAST  AND  TEA  CAKES. 

[jJg\ISCUIT,  muffins,  griddle  cakes,  etc,  are  made  with  either  sour  or 
[gm  sweet  milk.  Soda  must  be  used  with  something  containing  an 
acid,  and  is  neutralized  with  sour  milk.  Soda  is  used  in  the 
proportion  of  one  even  teaspoon  to  a  pint  of  thick  sour  milk,  or  butter- 
milk. Always  pulverize  your  soda  on  the  board  with  a  knife  before 
measuring,  and  sift  into  the  flour.  Some  dissolve  it  in  the  milk,  but  in 
doing  this  some  of  the  gas  escapes  in  the  effervescence.  When  sweet 
milk  is  used,  use  either  soda  and  cream  of  tartar  or  baking  powder. 
Use  one  level  teaspoonful  of  soda  to  two  of  cream  of  tartar,  and  one 
quart  of  flour.  It  requires  a  little  more  than  twice  as  much  cream  of 
tartar  to  neutralize  the  soda. 

Use  baking  powder  in  the  proportion  of  three  rounding  teaspoon- 
fuls  to  one  quart  of  flour.  Always  sift  it  thoroughly  in  the  flour, 
use  only  the  best  cream  of  tartar.  The  pure  article  can  be  obtained 
best  at  a  drug  store.  Soda  biscuit  must  be  made  as  quickly  as  possible. 
Baking  powder  biscuit  must  be  mixed  very  soft,  and  handled  as  little 
as  is  necessary  to  get  them  in  shape  to  cut  out.  Biscuit  must  be  put 
in  a  hot  oven,  then  cool  the  oven  off  gradually  after  they  have  risen 
until  done  a  light  brown.  Molasses  gives  another  acid,  and  is  used 
with  soda  alone. 

In  making  gems  or  muffins  have  your  pans  hot  before  pouring  in 
the  mixture.  Waffles  irons  should  be  put  on  to  heat  when  you  com- 
mence to  make  your  waffles.  Grease  on  both  sides  with  a  cloth  tied 
to  the  end  of  stick  and  used  especially  for  this  purpose.  Lard  or  beef 
drippings  are  the  best  for  greasing  the  irons.  They  require  a  longer 
time  to  bake  than  griddle  cakes.  Always  sift  your  flour  before  meas- 
uring. In  making  rolls  and  raised  biscuits,  mold  and  set  to  rise  two 
hours  before  baking. 

Sour  Cream  Biscuit. 

One  quart  of  sifted  flour,  one  even  teaspoonful  of  salt,  one  even 
teaspoonful  of  soda,  measured  after  it  is  pulverized,  one  pint  of  sour 
cream.  If  sweet  cream  is  used,  use  with  the  soda  two  teaspoonfuls  of 
cream  of  tartar.  Sift  soda  and  cream  of  tartar  in  the  flour.  Mix  with 
the  hands  as  little  as  possible.  f

Soda  Biscuit. 

One  quart  flour,  one  teaspoon  soda,  two  of  cream  of  tartar,  one  of 
salt,  one  tablespoon  of  sugar ;  rub  in  a  large  tablespoon  of  lard  or  but- 
ter, wet  with  one  pint  of  sweet  milk.  You  can  use  instead  of  soda  and 
cream  of  tartar  three  teaspoonfuls  of  baking  powder.  Leave  out  the 
sugar  and  by  using  more  shortening,  wet  with  the  same  quantity  of 
water. 

Baking  Powder  Biscuit. 

One  quart  of  flour,  three  heaping  teaspoons  of  baking  powder,  a

small  balls  and  let  them  rest  again,  and  bake  in  a  quick  oven. 

Muffins  with  Maple  Sugar. 

Take  one  pint  of  sour  milk,  or  buttermilk,  one  teaspoon  of  soda, 
one  quart  of  flour,  tablespoon  of  shortening.  Mix  and  roll  out  in  a 
long  sheet.  Have  butter  warmed  very  soft,  spread  over  the  sheet  of 
dough  and  cover  with  maple  sugar.  Roll  up  like  roll  jelly  cake,  cut  off 
in  slices.  Put  in  a  tin  and  bake  in  a  quick  oven.  These  are  delicious 
for  tea.

One  pint  of  flour,  one  teaspoonful  of  baking  powder,  one-half  tea- 
spoon of  salt,  two  eggs,  one  and  one-fourth  cups  sweet  milk,  one  table- 
spoon of  melted  butter.  Have  your  waffle  irons  hot.  Brown  on  one 
side  and  turn. 

Waffles.    2. 

One  pint  of  sweet  milk,  one-half  cup  of  butter,  three  eggs,  two 
teaspoons  of  baking  powder,  flour  enough  to  make  a  soft  batter.  Beat 
whites  and  yolks  of  eggs  separately. 

Raised  Waffles. 

One  quart  of  flour,  one  pint  of  sweet  warm  milk,  two  eggs,  two 
tablespoons  of  melted  butter,  a  little  salt,  half  a  teacupful  of  yeast,  or 
one-half  cake  of  any  kind  of  yeast.     Let  them  rise  over  night. 

Pop  Overs. 

Two  teacups  of  sweet  milk,  two  teacups  of  sifted  flour,  butter  size 
of  a  walnut,  two  eggs,  one  tablespoon  of  sugar,  a  little  salt.  Bake  in 
hot  gem  pans  and  eat  while  hot.  They  are  nice  served  with  maple 
syrup  or  raspberry  jam. 

Corn  Mush. 

Take  three  pints  of  water,  salt  and  let  come  to  a  boil;  stir  in  meal, 
letting  it  sift  througir  the  fingers  until  it  is  as  thick  as  can  be  stirred 
with  the  hand.  Let  it  stand  on  top  of  stove  in  pan  of  water,  and  cook 
slowly  for  an  hour. 

To  fry  for  breakfast  add  flour  to  the  above  mixture.  Slice  in  thin 
slices,  frying  in  hot  lard,  or  dip  in  beaten  eggs  and  then  in  cracker 
crumbs  and  fry  in  hot  lard.     Serve  with  maple  syrup. 

Toast. 

Use  bread  two  days  old.  Brown  over  quick  fire.  First  warm  each 
side  of  the  bread,  then  put  the  first  side  to  the  fire  and  let  it  remain 
until  it  is  a  rich  brown,  then  turn  the  other  side  to  the  fire.  This 
extracts  the  moisture  and  makes  the  bread  very  digestable.  Cut  the 
slices  uniform,  about  half  an  inch  thick.  Butter  as  soon  as  it  is  re- 
moved from  the  fire.  j

sugar  to  taste,  add  a  little  minced  onion  if  desired ;  strain  and  pour  over

and  let  stand  in  oven  a  few  minutes,  and  serve  immediately. 

Welsh  Rarebit.    2.

with  butter.  Take  one  cup  or  more  grated  cheese,  large  piece  of

Take  large  crackers.  The  salted  zephyrettes  are  best.  Spread 
with  butter,  pepper,  salt  and  grated  cheese ;  a  little  mustard  if  pre- 
ferred. Brown  a  delicate  color  in  a  quick  oven.  These  are  nice  to

Sardines  on  Toast. 

Mix  the  yolks  of  hard  boiled  eggs  with  an  equal  amount  of  sar- 
dines rubbed  to  a  paste.  Season  with  lemon  juice,  and  salt  and  pep- 
per and  spread  on  buttered  toast. 

Codfish  Toast.

until  it  is  melted.  When  lukewarm  add  two  teaspoonsfuls  of  sugar, 
two  well  beaten  eggs,  and  one-quarter  of  a  cup  of  yeast.  Stir  in  the 
flour  until  thick  enough  to  drop  from  a  spoon.  Let  them  stand,  and 
rise  over  night.  Lift  out  lightly  in  the  morning,  and  drop  by  spoon- 
fuls in  hot  muffin  tins.

CAKE. 


ATHER  materials  together,  and  have  your  table  cleared  of 
everything  else.  Put  your  butter  where  it  will  warm,  but  not 
melt.  Eggs  should  be  placed  in  the  ice  chest  to  cool  so  as  to 
beat  well.  Always  use  the  best  butter  for  cake,  as  heat  developes  all 
its  bad  qualities.  Have  your  sugar  fine.  First  cream  your  butter  and 
sugar,  then  add  eggs  beaten  very  light,  then  milk,  and  lastly  Hour  and 
flavoring.  Always  sift  the  flour  before  measuring.  If  baking  powder  is 
used  sift  in  the  flour  previously  measured.  If  cream  of  tartar  and  soda 
are  used,  dissolve  soda  in  the  milk  and  sift  cream  tartar  in  the  flour. 
Remember  two  things,  sour  milk  makes  light  spongy  cake,  and  soda 
should  always  be  used  with  it.  Sweet  milk  makes  a  firmer  cake,  and 
baking  powder  or  cream  tartar  and  soda  should  be  used.  Any  light 
cake  is  improved  by  beating  the  whites  to  a  stiff  froth,  and  the  yolks 
very  light.  The  whites  are  stirred  in  the  flour  the  last  thing.  In 
sponge  cake  the  eggs  must  always  be  beaten  separately  and  the  flour 
sifted  very  light.  Do  not  stir  your  mixture,  but  beat  thoroughly, 
bringing  the  batter  up  from  the  bottom  of  the  dish  at  each  stroke. 
Use  an  earthen  bowl  in  preference  to  tin.  Use  the  same  cup  always 
for  measuring.  Those  little  tin  ones  with  the  halves  and  fourths 
marked  are  very  handy.  In  fruit  cake  always  seed  your  raisins  by 
pouring  boiling  water  on  them.  Cut  your  citron  or  candied  fruit  into 
small  pieces.  Always  wash  currants  thoroughly  and  dry  in  a  sieve. 
Brown  your  flour.     Add  fruit  last  thing  well  floured. 

The  baking  of  the  cake  is  of  as  much  importance  as  the  mixing. 
Let  your  oven  be  hot  when  you  put  your  cake  in,  then  keep  it  at  an 
even  temperature.  Do  not  shake  oven  or  open  too  often,  as  an 
unequal  temperature  will  cause  it  to  fall.  Layer  cakes  require  a  brisk 
fire ;  large  cakes,  a  slow  steady  fire.  In  baking  fruit  cakes  it  is  a 
good  plan  to  put  two  or  three  thicknesses  of  well  greased  writing  paper 
on  the  bottom  of  your  pan.  Molasses  in  dark  cakes  burns  very 
quickly . 

To  test  your  cake  to  see  if  it  is  done  use  a  splinter  from  a  new 
broom,  or  a  steel  knitting  needle.  If  nothing  adheres  to  them,  or  if 
the  cake,  as  we  say,  has  stopped  "  singing,"  it  is  done.  Grease  tins 
always  with  lard  or  cottosuet.    If  almonds  are  used  blanch  by  pour-

cloves  and  nutmeg ;  bake  in  three  tins  ;  use  dark  layer  for  center ;  put 
together  with  any  kind  of  icing.  Nuts  or  candied  fruit  chopped  in  it 
makes  a  very  rich  cake.

CANDY. 


fN  MAKING  candy  cook  over  a  slow  fire.  Molasses  candy  and 
caramels  scorch  very  quickly.  Try  by  dropping  a  little  in  cold 
water.  If  it  becomes  brittle  and  snaps  the  candy  is  hard  enough, 
or  test  by  lifting  the  spoon,  and  if  the  mixture  "hairs"  or  ropes  from 
it,  this  is  a  good  test  that  the  candy  is  ready  to  be  removed  from  the 
fire.  Butter  should  be  put  in  when  the  candy  is  nearly  done,  and  all 
flavoring  should  be  added  just  after  removing  from  the  fire.  A  little 
vinegar  or  cream  of  tartar  will  keep  candy  from  graining.  Baker's 
chocolate  should  never  be  allowed  to  boil,  but  melted  by  placing  in 
a  pan  of  hot  water  on  the  back  of  the  stove.  Never  add  any  water 
to  it. 

Cream  Candy. 

Two  cups  of  white  sugar,  one-half  cup  of  water.  Flavor  with 
vanilla  while  pulling.  Tablespoonful  of  vinegar.  Cook  until  brittle 
when  dropped  in  cold  water.  Cool  and  pull.  Cut  in  small  pieces 
with  the  shears. 

Cream  and  Chocolate  Candy. 

Two  cups  of  granulated  sugar,  one-half  cup  of  water,  one  table- 
spoon of  vinegar,  one-half  teaspoonful  of  cream  of  tartar.  Flavor  with 
vanilla.  Take  one-third  of  the  cream  and  flavor  with  two  tablespoons 
of  grated  chocolate.  Pour  into  a  mold  in  layers ;  dark  in  center.  Cut 
when  partly  cold  into  small  cubes. 

Butter  Scotch. 

Two  cups  of  suger,  three-quarters  of  a  cup  of  vinegar,  one-half 
cup  of  butter.  Cook  until  brittle  when  dropped  in  water.  Pour  in 
buttered  pans,  and  mark  when  nearly  cold  in  small  squares. 

Chocolate  Caramels. 

One  cup  grated  chocolate,  two  cups  brown  sugar,  one  cup  of  molas- 
ses, large  piece  of  butter,  pinch  of  soda  when  nearly  done.  Boil  half 
an  hour  over  a  slow  fire,  as  it  burns  very  quickly.  Pour  in  pans,  and 
mark  in  squares  when  nearly  cold.  z

Chocolate  Drops. 

Two  and  a  half  cups  sugar,  one-half  cup  of  water,  a  pinch  of  cream 
of  tartar.  Boil  four  minutes,  and  beat  until  cold  enough  to  roll  into 
balls  with  the  fingers.  Take  one-half  cake  of  Baker's  chocolate,  melt 
and  roll  the  drops  in  it,  and  set  them  on  greased  paper  to  dry. 
Flavor  cream  with  lemon  or  vanilla. 

Walnut   Creams. 

Take  the  above  recipe.  Make  a  small  ball,  and  press  a  walnut 
meat  on  both  sides,  or  in  place  of  a  walnut  use  a  date. 

Almond  Macaroons. 

Blanch  and  pound  half  a  pound  of  almonds  to  a  smooth  paste,  add 
a  pound  of  sugar  and  the  whites  of  three  eggs.  Work  all  together. 
Roll  into  balls  and  lay  on  buttered  paper  one  inch  apart.  Put  in  a 
cool  oven  three-quarters  of  an  hour. 

Molasses  Candy. 

Two  cups  Orleans  molasses,  one  cup  brown  sugar,  one  tablespoon- 
ful  of  vinegar,  piece  of  butter  size  of  a  walnut.  Boil  until  brittle  in 
water.  Cool  and  pull  until  gold  color.  Clip  off  with  the  shears  into 
pieces  an  inch  long.  Flavor  the  last  thing,  and  add  a  pinch  of  soda 
just  before  removing  from  the  fire. 

Hickory  Nut  Candy. 

Take  recipe  for  molasses  candy,  and  add,  just  before  removing 
from  the  fire,  one  cup  of  nut  meats.  Cool  in  a  buttered  pan  and  break 
up  in  pieces.     Peanuts  can  be  used  in  place  of  hickory  nut  meats. 

Lemon  Candy. 

Take  a  pound  of  white  sugar,  large  cup  of  water.  Cook  half  an 
hour.  Raise  spoon,  and  if  it  hairs,  as  we  say,  it  is  done.  Squeeze  in 
the  juice  of  part  of  a  lemon  or  a  little  vinegar  and  lemon  extract. 
Pour  in  a  tin  and  mark  in  squares  before  it  is  hard. 

Cocoanut  Drops. 

One  cup  of  powdered  sugar,  white  of  an  egg,  cup  of  grated  or 
dessicated  cocoanut.    Roll  into  little  balls  and  bake  on  buttered  pane. 

Nut  Candy. 

Take  the  above  recipe  and  pour  in  just  before  putting  in  the 
pans,  chopped  cocoanut,  almonds,  hickory  nuts  and  slices  of  Brazilian 
nuts.  la

Cocoanut  Squares. 

One  cocoanut  grated  fine,  two  cups  of  milk,  butter  size  of  an  egg, 
three  pounds  of  white  sugar,  two  teaspoons  of  lemon  essence.  Boil 
slowly  until  stiff  and  pour  in  two  well  buttered  pans.  Mark  in  squares 
when  partly  cold. 

Hickory  Nut  Macaroons. 

One  egg,  half  cup  of  flour,  a  cup  of  meats  chopped  fine,  one  cup 
of  sugar.    Make  in  balls  and  bake  a  few  minutes  in  a  slow  oven. 

Confectionary  Candy. 

Mix  the  whites  of  two  eggs  and  their  bulk  in  water  with  two  pounds 
of  confectionery  sugar  and  a  tablespoon  of  vanilla  and  lemon  mixed. 
Beat  well  and  you  have  the  foundation  for  several  kinds  of  candy. 
For  chocolate  drops  roll  into  marbles  and  dip  in  melted  Baker's  choc- 
olate, and  set  up  on  greased  papers  to  dry.  Roll  the  balls  in  chopped 
nut  meats  or  press  a  walnut  on  each  side  of  a  small  piece  of  the  paste 
and  smooth  off  the  rough  edges  with  the  fingers  and  you  have  a  walnut 
candy.  Sprinkle  cocoanut  on  a  layer  of  the  paste,  roll  a  little  and  cut  in 
squares  and  cocoanut  squares  are  the  result.  Figs  and  dates  can  be 
used  the  same  as  walnuts.  This  is  at  present  a  very  popular,  cheap 
and  convenient  way  of  making  several  kinds  of  candy.  It  should  be 
eaten  at  once,  as  it  dries  very  quickly. 

Marrous  Glacis. 

Purchase  large  chestnuts,  selecting  them  with  great  care.  Shell 
and  cover  with  boiling  water  and  let  them  stand  fifteen  minutes. 
Remove  the  brown  skin  and  cover  them  with  boiling  wate**  and  let 
them  simmer  thirty  minutes.  Make  a  syrup  of  one  cup  of  granulated 
sugar  and  one  cup  of  water,  add  the  chestnuts  and  let  them  cook  slowly 
until  they  begin  to  look  clear.  Take  them  out  and  let  them  stand  one 
by  one  on  a  flat  sieve  over  night.  In  the  morning  take  one  pound  of 
granulated  sugar  and  one  cup  of  water,  stir  over  a  fire  until  the  sugar 
is  dissolved,  boil  until  the  syrup  hairs  and  then  add  one  teaspoonful  of 
lemon  juice,  take  from  the  fire  and  beat,  dip  the  chestnuts  in  the  mix- 
ture and  put  them  on  greased  paper  to  dry.  lb

CREAMS  AND  ICES. 


|  VERY  family  should  possess  a  good  gallon  ice  cream  freezer.  A 
great  many  palatable  dishes  can  be  made  with  it  in  hot  weather. 
The  principla  feature  of  making  creams  and  ices  is  in  the  freez- 
ing. Itis  essential  to  have  the  ice  finely  crushed.  This  can  be  done  by 
first  breaking  it  up  into  coarse  pieces  and  putting  it  in  a  sack  made  of 
burlap  or  some  coarse  material  and  pounding  with  a  wooden  mallet  or 
an  ice  cracker.  Use  one  part  salt  to  three  parts  of  ice  ;  rock  salt  is  the 
best,  but  coarse  salt  will  do  the  work.  Salt  causes  the  ice  to  melt  rap- 
idly and  ice  in  changing  to  water  absorbs  a  great  deal  of  heat.  This 
makes  the  mixture  of  ice  and  salt  many  degrees  colder  than  the  ice 
alone.  The  outlet  to  let  out  the  water  should  be  near  the  top  of  the 
eezer.  Let  it  run  out  as  the  ice  melts,  do  not  drain  it  off.  Put  a 
layer  of  ice  in  the  bottom  of  the  freezer,  then  a  layer  of  salt  and  so  on 
until  the  freezer  is  full.  Always  have  the  ice  come  a  few  inches  above 
the  cream  in  the  can.  Let  the  cream  or  ice  stand  for  eight  or  ten  min- 
utes until  chilled,  turning  occasionally,  then  rapidly  and  continuously 
until  the  crank  begins  to  turn  hard,  and  you  can  turn  it  no  longer.  It 
requires  from  twenty  minutes  to  half  an  hour  to  freeze  the  mixture. 
Remove  the  beater  and  handle,  pack  down  the  cream,  drain  off  some  of 
the  water,  put  in  a  fresh  layer  of  ice  and  salt  and  cover  with  an  old 
sack  or  piece  of  carpeting  until  ready  to  serve.  Cream  is  better  to 
stand  an  hour  or  so  before  serving.  The  cream  can  be  removed  from 
the  can  and  packed  in  fancy  shapes  or  molds  ;  cover  the  mold  closely 
with  a  cloth  and  put  the  cover  on  carefully,  then  pack  with  fresh  ice 
and  salt  in  some  large  receptacle.  Pour  off  the  water,  dip  the  mold 
quickly  in  hot  water,  turn  out  on  a  platter  and  serve  at  once.  There  are 
many  ways  of  making  cream.  Cream  is  the  essential  element  in  the  best 
ice  cream,  but  good  cream  can  be  made  without  cream  or  by  using  part 
cream. 

Ices  and  sherbets  are  made  of  fruit  juices,  sugar  and  water.  When 
made  of  fruit  juice,  water  and  sugar  they  are  called  ices.  When  the 
white  of  an  egg  or  a  little  gelatine  is  added  they  are  known  as  sherbets. 
When  cordials  or  liquors  are  added  to  lemon  and  orange  ices  they  are

called  punches.  When  a  variety  of  fruit  is  used  the  ice  is  known  as 
macedoines.  Sherbets  half  frozen  are  called  sorbets.  When  fresh 
fruit  cannot  be  obtained  use  the  juice  of  canned  fruit ;  fresh  fruit  is  of 
course  the  best.  To  make  ices  very  rich  the  juice  alone  with  sugar  is 
used.  Adding  the  white  of  an  egg  to  a  sherbet  gives  it  a  creamy  consist- 
ency ;  some  use  a  spoonful  of  gelatine.  To  make  the  texture  of  the  ice 
fine  grained  boil  the  sugar  and  water  together ;  remove  the  scum  and 
strain.  Always  sweeten  your  creams  and  ices  very  sweet ,  more  than 
would  be  agreeable  if  not  frozen,  for  the  intense  coldness  deadens  the 
sense  of  the  taste.  When  lemons  are  used,  grate  off  some  of  the  rind, 
squeeze  out  the  juice  and  let  them  stand  awhile ;  this  gets  all  the  flavor 
of  the  lemon.  Put  in  the  sugar  so  as  to  let  that  dissolve  at  the  same 
time,  strain  and  prepare  the  ice  for  freezing. 

Keep  the  machinery  of  the  freezer  well  oiled.  Always  scald  out 
the  can  of  the  freezer  before  putting  it  away.  Dry  the  freezer,  and 
drain  and  dry  the  salt,  as  it  can  be  used  again.  A  substitute  for  a 
freezer  is  a  covered  tin  pail  placed  in  a  wooden  bucket :  pack  the  space 
around  the  pail  with  the  ice  and  salt.  Remove  cover  and  stir  the  cream 
from  the  sides  occasionally  until  stiff. 

Plain  Ice  Cream. 

Boil  one  pint  of  milk  and  one  pint  of  cream.  Beat  two  eggs  very 
light,  add  one  cup  of  sugar,  a  little  salt ;  mix  well,  and  add  to  the  boil- 
ing milk.  Turn  into  the  double  cooker  and  cook  awhile.  When  cold 
add  two  tablespoons  of  any  kind  of  flavoring.  Add  more  sugar  if  neces- 
sary, and  freeze  according  to  directions  given. 

Quick  Ice  Cream. 

One  quart  of  cream,  cup  and  a  half  of  sugar,  pinch  of  salt,  and  flavor 
to  taste.  Let  the  sugar  stand  in  the  cream  awhile  so  as  to  dissolve. 
Beat  the  whites  of  two  eggs  to  a  stiff  froth,  put  in  the  bottom  of  the  can 
and  pour  in  the  cream.  To  make  it  nice  reserve  a  part  of  the  cream, 
whip  it  and  add  to  the  rest  when  it  is  partly  frozen.  It  will  take  at  least 
a  large  tablespoon  of  flavoring  extract. 

Neapolitan  Ice  Cream. 

One  quart  of  cream,  four  eggs,  one  cup  of  sugar,  flavoring.  Scald 
the  cream,  beat  the  yolks,  add  the  sugar,  and  beat  again.  Beat  whites 
stiff,  and  add  them  to  the  yolks.  Pour  in  the  cream  and  cook  awhile  in 
a  double  boiler.  Strain,  and  when  cold,  add  flavoring  and  freeze. 
With  this  recipe  can  be  made  any  variety  of  cream.  id

Chocolate  Ice  Cream. 

Take  five  tablespoons  of  grated  chocolate,  rub  smooth  in  one  pint 
of  milk ;  add  two  well  beaten  eggs  and  two  cups  of  sugar.  Beat  well 
and  cook  in  a  double  boiler  until  it  thickens .  When  cold  flavor  with  a 
teaspoon  of  vanilla.  Put  in  a  freezer,  and  when  it  begins  to  set  add  a 
quart  of  rich  cream.  A  cup  of  preserved  peaches  cut  in  small  pieces, 
and  added  when  the  cream  is  almost  frozen,  makes  a  delicious  cream. 

Fruit  Frappies. 

Line  a  fancy  mold  with  any  nice  rich  vanilla  flavored  cream.  Fill 
the  center  with  fresh  berries,  or  peaches,  apricots  or  pears  cut  in  slices. 
Cover  with  ice  cream.  Put  in  a  bucket  and  pack  with  ice  and  salt. 
Let  it  stand  for  an  hour.  Any  kind  of  berries  can  be  used.  Straw- 
berries are  the  most  delicious.     If  you  have  not  fresh  fruit  use  canned. 

Frozen  Custard. 

Scald  one  quart  of  milk.  Beat  the  yolks  of  four  eggs,  add  one  cup 
of  sugar,  pinch  of  salt,  and  beat  well.  Place  in  a  double  cooker,  and 
cook  until  creamy.  Cool  and  flavor  to  taste.  This  can  be  made  much 
richer  by  adding  a  cup  of  cream  when  the  custard  is  partly  frozen. 

Lemon  Ice  Cream. 

Use  any  recipe  for  cream.  Neapolitan  ice  cream  is  the  best.  Grate 
some  of  the  rind  of  a  lemon.  Squeeze  out  the  juice.  Be  careful  not  to 
have  any  of  the  rind  and  seeds,  as  they  are  apt  to  give  a  bitter  flavor. 
Strain  and  mix  with  half  a  cup  of  sugar.  Boil  until  clear,  and  stir  into 
the  cream  just  before  freezing. 

Strawberry  Ice  Cream. 

Take  one  quart  of  strawberries  and  sprinkle  a  large  cup  of  sugar 
over  them.  Mash,  and  let  them  stanct  an  hour.  Put  through  a  sieve 
as  long  as  the  juice  and  pulp  will  come.  Put  the  pulp  in  a  pan  and 
pour  on  one  cup  of  milk.  Strain  through  a  cloth.  Add  to  this  one 
quart  of  cream,  and  make  it  very  sweet.  Scald  the  cream  and  dissolve 
the  sugar  in  it.  The  strawberries  can  be  mashed  and  poured  into  a  quick 
ice  cream  when  it  is  partly  frozen.  Canned  strawberries  can  be  used 
in  place  of  fresh  ones. 

Raspberry  Ice  Cream. 

Make  exactly  as  the  above  recipe  says,  using  raspberries  in  place 
of  strawberries.  The  juice  of  a  lemon  greatly  improves  it.  Easpberries 
are  apt  to  be  too  sweet.  le

Banana  Ice  Cream. 

Peel  six  ripe  bananas,  remove  the  dark  seeds  and  the  dark  line  in 
the  centre.  Rub  the  pulp  through  a  strainer  and  add  sugar  to  make  it 
very  sweet.  A  little  lemon  juice  improves  it.  Add  a  pinch  of  salt,  and 
put  in  any  ice  cream,  made  from  the  preceding  recipes,  when  partly 
frozen,  or  make  one  as  follows  :  One  quart  of  cream,  one  cup  of  sugar 
and  flavor  to  taste.    Prepare  as  in  quick  ice  cream. 

Peach  Ice  Cream. 

Take  a  dozen  large,  ripe  freestone  peaches,  pare  and  chop ;  add  a 
few  of  the  stone  meats.  Add  large  cup  of  sugar  to  the  peaches  and  let 
them  stand  awhile.  Wash  the  pulp  through  a  sieve  and  stir  in  any 
kind  of  ice  cream.  The  peaches  can  be  used  without  putting  them 
through  a  strainer. 

Apricot  Ice  Cream. 

Take  a  quart  of  apricots,  add  one  cup  of  sugar  and  let  them  stand 
awhile ;  then  rub  the  pulp  through  a  sieve.  Scald  one  quart  of  ^ream 
and  add  one  cup  of  sugar  to  it ;  cool  and  put  in  a  freezer.  Add  the 
beaten  white  of  an  egg  and  the  apricot  pulp.  Freeze  according  to 
directions. 

Maraschino  Ice  Cream. 

Make  a  Neapolitan  ice  cream,  flavor  with  vanilla  and  almond 
flavoring.  When  ready  to  serve  pour  three  spoonfuls  of  maraschino 
over  the  cream. 

Pistachio  Ice  Cream. 

Shell,  blanch  and  pound  one-quarter  of  a  pound  of  pistachio 
nuts,  add  half  a  cup  of  almond  meats  chopped  and  pounded  to  a 
paste.  Make  a  plain  ice  cream  or  any  kind,  flavor  with  a  teaspoonful 
of  vanilla  and  almond  mixed,  and  add  the  nuts  and  almonds.  Freeze 
as  usual.  The  nuts  can  be  used  alone  without  the  almonds,  or  use  the 
almonds  alone  and  call  it  almond  ice  cream.  Pistachio  ice  cream  can 
be  colored  the  desired  shade  by  using  spinach  coloring. 

Tutti  Frutti  Ice  Cream. 

Make  a  quick  ice  cream,  flavor  with  a  little  Madeira  or  any  rich 
wine.  Take  a  mixture  of  candied  fruit,  using  plums,  cherries,  pears, 
strawberries  and  apricots,  about  a  pound  in  all.  Cut  up  fine  and  add 
to  the  cream  when  partly  frozen.  if

Hickory  Nut  Ice  Cream. 

Take  a  pint  of  hickory  nut  kernels,  pick  over  carefully,  pound  in 
a  mortar.  Put  two  tablespoons  of  sugar  over  the  fire  without  water, 
stir  until  browned ;  add  a  little  water  to  dissolve  it,  add  it  to  the  nuts. 
Take  one  quart  of  cream  and  sweeten  one  teacup  and  a  half  of  ice 
cream,  add  the  nut  paste  and  freeze. 

New  York  Ice  Cream. 

Take  one  quart  of  cream,  one  teacup  and  a  half  of  sugar  and  a  table- 
spoon of  vanilla.  Beat  the  yolks  of  six  eggs  and  pour  the  boiling  cream 
on  them ;  put  over  the  fire  for  a  minute.  Freeze.  This,  molded  with 
chocolate  and  lemon  ice  cream,  is  very  nice. 

Nut  Ice  Cream. 

Take  filberts,  chestnuts  or  English  walnuts ;  American  walnuts, 
hickory  nuts  and  pecans  can  be  used.  Shell,  blanch  if  necessary ;  chop 
or  pound  to  a  paste,  and  stir  in  any  plain  ice  cream.  In  using  pecans 
avoid  getting  any  of  the  puckery  substance  which  adheres  to  the  meat. 

Fruit  Cream. 

One-half  can  of  apricots,  three  bananas,  three  oranges,  three  cups 
of  sugar,  two  lemons  and  three  cups  of  water.  Prepare  the  fruit  as 
given  in  the  other  recipes.  Pour  on  the  water  and  sugar,  let  it  stand 
awhile.  Put  all  the  pulp  through  a  strainer,  add  more  sugar  if  necessary. 
Mix  with  the  fruit  a  cup  of  rich  cream,  or  one  pint,  and  freeze.  This  is 
delicious.  If  canned  fruit  is  used,  rub  through  a  strainer  and  add  one 
quart  of  whipped  cream.  For  canned  fruit  use  peaches,  apricots, 
cherries,  strawberries,  etc. 

Nesselrode  Pudding:. 

One-half  a  pint  of  shelled  almonds,  one  pint  of  shelled  chestnuts, 
a  pint  of  canned  pineapple.  Boil  the  chestnuts  half  an  hour  and  pound 
to  a  paste  ;  blanch  the  almonds  and  pound  the  same  as  the  chestnuts ; 
boil  the  pineapple  with  one  pint  of  water  and  one  pint  of  sugar  twenty 
minutes.  Add  the  yolks  of  five  eggs,  well  beaten,  put  in  a  dish  of 
boiling  water  and  beat  until  it  thickens.  Add  the  nuts  and  half  a 
pound  of  French  candied  fruit  cut  up  fine,  to  one  pint  of  cream.  Mix 
with  the  cooked  mixture.  Flavor  and  add  a  pinch  of  salt.  Freeze

Frozen  Pudding. 

Make  two  quarts  of  rich  boiled  custard,  add  two  tablespoons  of 
gelatine  dissolved  in  half  a  cup  of  cold  milk.  Add  to  the  custard  and 
when  it  is  just  beginning  to  freeze  add  one  pound  of  raisins,  one  pint 
fruit  preserves,  one  quart  of  whipped  cream.  Almonds  and  grated 
cocoanut  make  the  pudding  nice  but  can  be  left  out. 

Lemon  Ice. 

Two  quarts  of  water,  two  pounds  of  sugar,  juice  of  half  a  dozen 
lemons  grate  off  some  of  the  rind,  squeeze  out  the  juice  and  pour  the 
water  hot  on  the  lemons.  Strain ;  and  add  the  sugar ;  when  cold  freeze 
the  same  as  cream,  add  the  well  beaten  whites  of  three  eggs  and  you 
have  lemon  sherbet. 

Orange  Sherbet. 

Make  the  same  as  lemon,  using  ten  oranges  and  the  whites  of  six 
eggs.    The  juice  and  rind  of  two  lemons  greatly  improve  it. 

Pineapple  Sherbet. 

Take  one  pint  of  fresh  or  one  can  of  grated  pineapple.  If  a  fresh 
pineapple  is  used  it  will  take  one ;  pare,  dig  out  the  eyes  and  reject 
the  hard  core,  chop  or  grate ;  add  two  cups  of  sugar,  two  cups  of  water 
and  one  lemon ;  soak  the  gelatine  in  a  little  cold  water  and  then  dis- 
solve in  boiling  water,  add  the  whites  of  two  eggs  and  freeze.  The 
egg  can  be  omitted  ;  a  little  orange  juice  and  pulp  improves  the  flavor. 
Use  one  tablespoon  of  gelatine. 

Pineapple  Ice. 

One  can  of  grated  pineapple,  one  cup  and  a  half  of  sugar  and  one 
pint  and  a  half  of  water ;  pour  the  juice  from  the  cans  in  a  bowl,  put 
the  fruit  with  half  the  water  and  cook  twenty  minutes ;  put  the  sugar 
in  the  remainder  of  the  water  and  boil ;  rub  the  cooked  pineapple 
through  a  sieve  and  add  the  boiling  syrup.  Cook  a  few  minutes  longer, 
add  the  juice  and  cool  and  freeze. 

Raspberry  Sherbet. 

One  pint  of  berry  juice,  two  cups  of  sugar,  two  cups  of  water,  juice 
of  one  lemon,  one  tablespoonful  of  gelatine  ;  mash  and  put  the  berries 
through  a  sieve,  add  sugar  and  gelatine  already  dissolved  and  freeze. 
In  place  of  the  gelatine  use  the  beaten  whites  of  two  eggs- 

Strawberry  Sherbet. 

Make  this  the  same  as  raspberry,  using  a  little  more  sugar.  If 
canned  fruit  is  used  use  half  as  much  sugar.  lb

quart  of  water ;  boil  sugar  and  water  together,  add  the  strawberries 
and  cook  a  few  minutes ;  cool  and  when  frozen,  add  one  pint  of  whipped 
cream.  This  makes  a  delicious  dessert.  If  canned  strawberries  are 
used,  use  half  as  much  sugar  and  do  not  cook. 

Frozen  Raspberries. 

Prepare  the  same  as  strawberries ;  when  cold  add  the  juice  of 
two  lemons  and  freeze  ;  add  the  whipped  cream.  Any  kind  of  fruit  or

and  one  pound  of  sugar ;  boil  sugar  and  water  together,  then  add  the 
fruit  juice,  strain  and  freeze  ;  add  more  sugar  if  one  likes  it  very  sweet.

Beat  two  eggs  light  and  creamy,  add  two  tablespoons  of  sugar 
and  beat  again ;  add  two  tablespoons  of  wine  or  brandy  and  one  cup  of

two  eggs  make  it  smooth  and  creamy.

Prepare  the  same  as  for  Eoman  punch.  Use  a  little  more  sugar 
and  one-half  a  pint  of  good  claret ;  more  can  be  added  if  desired.

CREAMS   AND    CUSTARDS. 

(OR  creams  and  custards,  beat  the  yolks  and  the  whites  of  the 
[K  eggs  separately.  Use  an  earthen  bowl.  When  gelatine  is  used, 
soak  in  a  little  cold  water  for  awhile,  and  dissolve  in  the  hot 
mixture  just  after  it  is  removed  from  the  stove.  To  make  a  good  boiled 
custard  the  rule  is,  the  yolks  of  three  eggs  to  a  pint  of  milk,  and  three 
tablespoons  of  sugar,  or  four  eggs,  one  cup  of  sugar  to  every  quart  of 
milk.  Always  heat  the  milk  in  a  double  cooker,  then  add  the  sugar, 
and  lastly  the  eggs.  This  keeps  it  from  curdling.  Flavor  when  cool. 
Use  eggs  that  are  strictly  fresh,  as  nothing  will  taste  so  quickly  in  a 
cream  as  a  packed  egg.  In  baking  custards,  bake  in  a  very  slow 
oven  until  firm  in  the  centre.  If  the  oven  is  too  hot  the  custard  will 
turn  to  whey.  The  only  spices  to  be  used  must  be  cinnamon  and  nut- 
meg. The  best  charlotte  russe  is  made  of  well  whipped  cream  as  a 
filling.  A  great  many  people  use  gelatine.  Cream  intended  for 
whipping  should  be  first  chilled  on  the  ice,  and  sweetened  after  it 
is  partly  whipped.  Use  an  egg  beater.  Flavor  thelast  thing.  If  the 
cream  does  not  whip  well  add  the  white  of  an  egg  and  whip  with  it. 
Do  not  whip  it  too  long  or  it  will  turn  to  butter.  Gelatine  is  put  up  in 
two-ounce  packages.  When  the  recipe  calls  for  half  a  package  one 
ounce  should  be  used.  One  pint  of  cream  will  make  three  times 
as  much  whipped  cream. 

Sherry  Cream. 

One  pint  of  rich  cream,  one  cup  of  sherry  wine,  one  cup  of  lemon 
(grated  rind  and  juice),  one  cup  of  sugar,  whites  of  two  eggs  beaten 
light.  Whip  the  cream,  add  eggs  and  wine.  Serve  in  glasses  with 
the  froth  of  the  cream  on  top. 

Charlotte  Russe. 

One  pint  of  cream,  one  teaspoon  of  vanilla,  one-half  cup  of 
sugar.  Place  the  bowl  containing  the  cream  in  cold  water,  whip  to  a 
stiff  froth.  Skim  off  the  froth  and  strain.  Whip  again  and  repeat  it. 
Line  a  pudding  dish  with  slices  of  stale  sponge  cake,  or  dry  lady  fingers. 
Cover  with  the  cream,  and  put  pieces  of  currant  or  wine  jelly  on  top. 
Put  in  a  cold  place  until  ready  to  serve.  lj

Peach  Bavarian  Cream. 

A  can  of  best  peaches,  mash  -and  rub  them  through  a  sieve. 
Put  them  in  a  saucepan  and  let  them  cook  slowly  a  few  minutes. 
Add  an  ounce  of  gelatine  soaked  in  a  half  cup  of  water.  Add  a  cup  of 
sugar.  Eemove  from  the  fire  and  beat  until  it  commences  to  thicken. 
Stir  in  a  cup  of  cream.  Serve  with  whipped  cream.  Pineapple  cream 
can  be  made  the  same  way  by  using  a  can  of  pineapple.  Rub  as  much 
of  the  pineapple  as  you  can  through  a  seive.  A  pint  of  cream  can  be 
added  in  place  of  a  cupful.  The  pineapple  should  be  chopped  fine  be- 
fore it  is  put  on  to  cook  in  the  water.  Pineapple  makes  a  delicious 
cream.     Use  pears  and  apricots  in  the  same  way. 

Tapioca  Cream. 

Soak  two  tablespoons  of  tapioca  in  one-half  teacup  of  milk.  Heat 
a  quart  of  milk,  add  half  a  teacup  of  sugar  and  the  well  beaten  yolks 
of  three  eggs;  add  tapioca  and  stir  all  together;  boil  a  few  minutes, 
turn  into  a  dish  and  spread  on  the  well  beaten  whites  of  the  eggs ; 
flavor  the  cream  with  vanilla.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  cook  the  tapioca 
in  the  water  it  is  soaked  in  until  clear  before  adding  it  to  the  milk. 
This  is  nice  poured  over  stale  slices  of  sponge  cake,  and  served  with 
pieces  of  jelly  laid  around  on  the  frosting. 

Blanc  Mange. 

Take  three  heaping  tablespoons  of  corn  starch  and  dissolve  in 
a  little  milk;  beat  three  eggs,  add  three  tablespoons  of  sugar,  heat  one 
quart  of  milk  to  the  boiling  point,  stir  in  the  starch  and  lastly  the  eggs 
and  sugar;  flavor  to  suit  the  taste,  pour  in  a  mold  and  serve  with 
sweetened  cream  flavored  with  vanilla ;  place  teaspoonful  of  jelly  on 
each  plate. 

Apple  Snow. 

Cook  six  tart  apples  in  as  little  water  as  possible,  cool  and  strain ; 
whip  the  whites  of  three  eggs  well,  add  to  the  apple  and  a  half  cup 
of  sugar,  flavor  with  lemon  or  vanilla  or  the  grated  rind  and  juice  of  a 
lemon,  beat  well  and  serve  with  whipped  cream,  or  pour  on  a  custard 
and  serve  cold. 

Fruit  Blanc  Mange. 

Take  either  raspberries  or  strawberries  and  stew  and  strain  the 
juice ;  sweeten  to  taste  and  to  every  pint  of  juice  add  two  tablespoons 
of  cornstarch ;  when  cooked  so  that  it  is  thick  pour  in  molds  and 
serve  with  either  cream  and  sugar  or  whipped  cream.  11

DOUGHNUTS  AND  CRULLERS. 


tN  MAKING  doughnuts  never  mix  hard.  Using  eggs  prevents  them 
from  soaking  the  fat.  Roll  about  half  an  inch  thick,  cut  with 
cookie  cutter  and  cut  out  the  center  with  some  round  article  about 
one-fourth  as  large.  An  iron  kettle  is  the  best  for  frying.  Use  best 
leaf  lard,  or  half  lard  and  the  drippings  from  beef  suet.  Cottosuet  is 
an  excellent  substitute  for  either.  When  the  fat  is  first  used  clarify 
with  slices  of  raw  potato.  Let  them  fry  for  a  few  minutes  and  then 
skim  them  out.  By  cooling  and  straining  the  fat  can  be  used  a  second 
time.  Have  the  fat  boiling  hot.  If  hot  enough  it  will  cease  to  bubble. 
Try  by  dropping  in  a  small  piece  of  your  dough ;  if  it  rises  in  a  few  sec- 
onds and  browns  on  the  under  side  quickly  it  is  just  right.  Put  in  the 
doughnuts  or  crullers  and  turn  as  they  rise  to  the  top  of  the  fat.  Fry 
a  light  brown  ;  try  with  a  steel  fork.  If  the  fork  comes  out  clean,  drain 
over  the  kettle  and  place  in  a  large  pan  a  short  distance  apart.  Sprinkle 
powdered  sugar  over  them  and  keep  in  a  stone  jar ;  this  keeps  them 
moist. 

Good  Doughnuts. 

One  cup  of  sugar,  three  tablespoons  of  butter,  melted,  or  take  equal 
parts  of  butter  and  lard,  cup  and  a  half  of  buttermilk,  or  sour  milk, 
level  teaspoon  of  soda,  pinch  of  salt,  one-half  a  teaspoon  of  ginger  and 
cinnamon,  one  egg.     Let  them  stand  for  couple  of  hours  and  rise. 

Raised  Doughnuts. 

One  half  cup  sugar,  one-half  cup  of  butter  and  lard  mixed  (make 
this  a  small  half  cup),  one  egg,  one  cup  of  sweet  milk,  one-half  cup  of 
yeast,  or  one-half  a  cake  of  compressed  yeast,  one-fourth  teaspoon  of 
soda,  one-fourth  teaspoon  each  of  salt,  ginger  and  cinnamon.  Mix  over 
night  and  keep  warm.  Cut  out  in  the  morning  and  let  them  rise  on  the 
board  for  an  hour. 

Doughnuts. 

One  egg,  cup  of  sweet  milk,  one  cup  of  sugar,  tablespoon  of  melted 
butter,  pint  and  a  half  of  flour,  two  teaspoons  of  baking  powder,  a  little 
cinnamon  and  nutmeg.     Mix  soft  and  fry  at  once.  lo

Crullers. 

One  tablespoon  of  melted  butter,  two  heaping  tablespoons  of  sugar, 
one  egg,  one-half  salt  spoon  of  salt,  one-half  salt  spoon  of  cinnamon  or 
mace.  Roll  quarter*  of  an  inch  thick,  cut  in  squares.  Make  three  or 
four  incisions  in  each  square ;  lift  by  taking  alternate  pieces  between 
the  finger  and  thumb ;  fold  together  slightly  in  the  middle  and  drop 
into  hot  fat,  and  fry  like  doughnuts. 

Crullers. 

Three  tablespoons  of  melted  butter,  half  a  cup  of  sugar,  three 
eggs,  two  tablespoons  of  sweet  milk,  half  a  teaspoon  of  soda,  teaspoon- 
ful  of  cream  of  tartar,  a  little  ginger  or  nutmeg. 

Wonders. 

One  egg,  pinch  of  salt,  flour  to  make  a  very  stiff  batter.  Roll  thin 
as  a  wafer  and  cut  with  a  large  cutter.  Serve  with  cream  or  maple 
syrup. 

Fried  Corn-meal  Cakes. 

One  pint  of  milk,  poured  boiling  hot  upon  one  cup  of  corn-meal ; 
add  one  heaping  tablespoon  of  sugar,  a  little  salt.  Let  it  stand  all  night, 
then  add  two  eggs  and  half  a  cup  of  flour.    Fry  in  hot  lard. 

Fried  Rye  Muffins. 

One  pint  of  sour  milk,  one-half  cup  of  molasses,  pinch  of  salt,  salt 
spoon  of  cinnamon,  one  teaspoon  of  soda,  two  eggs.  Rye  flour  to  make 
a  stiff  drop  batter.    Fry  in  hot  lard.

EGGS. 


ET  me  say  at  the  start,  that  the  most  to  be  said  about  eggs  is, 
that  the  fresher  they  are  the  better  they  are  and  the  more 
wholesome.  Never  buy  eggs  the  freshness  of  which  you  have 
any  doubt.  If  eggs  appear  heavy  and  dark,  or  if  they  gurgle  when 
shaken,  they  are  bad.  When  eggs  are  put  in  a  vessel  to  cook,  if  they 
lie  on  their  sides  they  are  apt  to  be  good ;  but  if  they  stand  on  end 
and  float  on  top  of  the  water,  reject  them  at  once.  This  is  explained  by 
the  fact  that  the  shells  being  very  porous,  on  exposure  to  the  air  the 
water  inside  evaporates,  eggs  grow  lighter,  and  air  rushing  into  them 
to  take  the  place  of  the  water,  decomposition  takes  place.  Eggs  are  the 
most  nutritious  of  food.  Do  not  economize  in  the  use  of  them.  Hard 
boiled  and  fried  eggs  are  the  hardest  to  digest.  Eggs  with  dark  shells 
are  the  richer,  as  the  yolks  which  contain  the  nutriment  are  larger. 
Eggs  to  be  soft  require  three  minutes ;  hard,  five  minutes.  In  poach- 
ing' an  egg  add  a  little  vinegar.  This  keeps  the  white  of  the  egg 
from  spreading.  Eggs  are  prepared  in  an  unlimited  variety  of  styles. 
They  make  good  dishes  for  breakfast  and  lunch  and  are  indispensi- 
ble  in  cakes,  puddings  and  desserts.  Do  not  have  the  water  quite 
boiling  when  the  egg  is  first  put  in,  as  it  is  not  so  apt  to  crack  as  when 
the  water  is  boiling.  In  poaching  or  frying  an  egg,  first  break  them 
carefully  into  a  saucer  and  slip  them  gently  into  the  water  or  hot  fat. 
In  making  omelets  beat  the  yolks  and  whites  separately. 

Boiled  Eggs. 

Put  the  eggs  in  a  pan,  cover  with  hot  water  and  let  them  stand 
about  ten  minutes  where  the  water  will  keep  hot,  but  not  boil.  Serve 
at  once,  as  they  soon  harden  in  the  shell,  or  put  them  on  in  cold  water 
and  when  the  water  boils  the  eggs  will  be  done.  If  the  eggs  are  to  be 
very  soft,  let  them  stand  in  the  hot  water  only  five  minutes. 

Hard  Boiled  Eggs. 

Cook  the  eggs  twenty  minutes  in  water  below  the  boiling  point.  If 
the  yolk  is  cooked  ten  minutes  it  will  be  tough ;  if  cooked  twenty,  mealy 
and  easily  reduced  to  a  powder.  iq

FROSTING. 

fARE  off  all  the  loose  edges  and  if  the  cake  is  browned  too  much 
pare  off  some  of  the  crust.  Dust  with  a  little  flour.  Always 
beat  eggs  to  a  stiff  froth.  Separate  the  whites  from  the  yolks 
and  place  in  the  ice  chest  so  they  will  cool  and  beat  readily.  Add 
your  pulverized  sugar  gradually,  and  flavoring  the  last  thing.  In  boiled 
frosting  boil  the  sugar  until  it  ropes  or  hairs  from  the  spoon  and  turn 
hot  upon  the  beaten  eggs ;  beat  until  cold. 

Boiled  Frosting. 

White  of  one  egg,  three-quarters  of  a  cup  of  sugar,  three  table- 
spoons of  hot  water.  Boil  water  and  sugar  and  pour  hot  on  the  well 
beaten  egg. 

Chocolate  Icing. 

Make  a  boiled  frosting  of  the  whites  of  two  eggs  and  two  small 
cups  of  powdered  sugar.  Boil  the  sugar  with  four  tablespoons  of  water. 
When  all  dissolved  add  one-quarter  of  a  pound  of  scraped  or  grated 
chocolate  Pour_on  the  eggs  and  beat  until  cold.  This  will  be  enough 
for  the  filling,    of  a  three-layer  cake  and  for  the  top. 

Yellow  Frosting. 

Yolk  of  an  egg,  powdered  sugar  to  make  a  stiff  icing.  Flavor 
with  vanilla  or  wine. 

Hickory  Nut  Frosting. 

Make  a  boiled  frosting  as  given  above  and  stir  in  one  cup  of 
chopped  hickory  nut  meats  and  beat  to  a  cream.  Spread  on  the  cake 
and  smooth  down  with  a  knife  dipped  in  cold  water. 

Frosting. 

To  the  white  of  one  egg  beaten  to  a  stiff  froth  add  one  cup  of  pow-

FRITTERS. 


IN  MAKING  fritters,  to  make  them  light  beat  yolks  and  whites 
separately.  Do  not  make  too  thick  a  batter;  just  thick  enough 
to  drop  from  a  spoon  easily.  Use  nice  sweet  lard  or  cottosuet, 
and  have  it  at  boiling  heat.  Test  by  dropping  in  a  little  of  the  batter  ; 
if  it  rises  immediately  and  soon  browns  it  is  just  right.  In  using 
fresh  lard  a  good  plan  is  to  fry  a  few  slices  of  potatoes  in  it  before 
using.  This  clarifies  it.  Never  use  but  a  very  little  sugar  in  the  bat- 
ter, as  sugar  will  make  them  heavy;  sprinkle  it  over  them  when 
ready  to  serve. 

Corn  Fritters. 

Add  two  eggs  well  beaten,  to  one  pint  of  milk  ;  mix  well  and  add 
one  can  of  fine  corn.  Add  flour  enough  to  make  the  batter  the 
proper  consistency  and  fry  like  griddle  cakes.  Serve  these  with 
chicken. 

Corn  Fritters. 

Take  one  quart  grated  sweet  corn,  add  two  cups  sweet  milk,  one 
cup  of  flour,  a  piece  of  butter  two ,  eggs  well  beaten.  Season  with 
salt  and  pepper  and  fry  like  griddle  cakes  on  a  well  greased  griddle. 

Oyster  Fritters. 

One  pint  of  oysters,  one  pint  of  flour,  a  teaspoon  of  salt,  half  pint 
of  water.  Drain  and  chop  oysters.  Mix  flour,  oysters  and  salt  to- 
gether ;  add  two  well  beaten  eggs  and  a  tablespoon  of  salad  oil.  Fry 
in  boiling  fat  until  brown.     Butter  can  be  used  in  place  of  salad  oil. 

Apple  Fritters. 

One  cup  of  sweet  milk,  two  cups  of  flour,  heaping  teaspoon  of  bak- 
ing powder,  two  eggs,  tablespoon  of  sugar,  a  little  salt.  Throw  into 
the  batter  thin  pieces  of  sour  apples ;  about  two.  Fry  to  a  light 
brown  in  hot  lard  and  serve  with  maple  syrup.  These  make  a  nice 
dessert.  iv

Clam  Fritters. 

Use  instead  of  oysters  a  pint  of  chopped  clams,  and  the  same 
batter  as  for  oysters.  Use  more  flour,  as  the  liquor  in  the  clams  is  apt 
to  thin  the  batter. 

Cream  Fritters. 

One  pint  of  sweet  milk,  six  eggs,  two  tablespoons  of  sugar,  one  cup 
of  flour,  three  heaping  tablespoons  of  butter,  salt  spoon  of  salt. 
Flavor  with  a  little  nutmeg,  lemon  or  orange.  Put  ingredients 
together  and  cook  in  a  double  boiler.  Butter  a  cake  pan  and  pour  in 
the  mixture;  cool  and  cut  into  small  squares.  Dip  the  squares  in 
beaten  egg  and  crumbs  and  fry  in  hot  lard,  or  do  not  cook  mixture  but 
drop  by  spoonfuls  in  boiling  fat. 

Banana  Fritters. 

One  cup  of  flour,  yolks  of  two  eggs,  a  pinch  of  salt,  two  table- 
spoons of  melted  butter  or  lard,  enough  water  or  milk  to  make  a  bat- 
ter. Add  the  whites  beaten  stiff,  and  stir  in  three  or  four  bananas 
cut  in  slices.  Drop  the  batter  by  spoonfuls  in  boiling  lard.  Do  not 
crowd.  If  the  fat  is  hot  they  will  take  from  three  to  five  minutes. 
Serve  with  cream  sauce  or  maple  syrup. 

Lemon  Fritters. 

Three  eggs,  a  pint  of  flour,  one-half  tea. cup  of  sugar,  a  gill  of  milk, 
juice  and  grated  peel  of  one  lemon.  Serve  with  maple  syrup  or  a  foam- 
ing sauce. 

Hasty  Fritters. 

Put  three  heaping  tablespoons  of  flour  info  a  bowl,  and  enough 
boiling  water  on  it  to  make  a  stiff  paste,  stirring  and  beating  well  to 
prevent  it  from  becoming  lumpy.  Let  it  cool  and  stir  into  it  the  yolks 
of  three  eggs  and  whites  of  two.  Beat  well  together  and  drop  by  spoon- 
fuls in  boiling  lard  and  fry  a  delicate  brown.  Serve  on  a  dish  with  a 
spoonful  of  preserves,  marmalade  or  jelly. 

Peach  Fritters. 

Make  a  batter  of  a  cup  of  sweet  milk,  a  pint  and  a  half  of  flour  and 
a  half  cup  of  yeast.  Set  in  a  warm  place  to  rise.  When  very  light  add 
two  well  beaten  eggs,  two  tablespoons  of  sugar,  a  large  piece  of  butter 
and  a  pinch  of  salt.  Knead  with  the  hands  into  a  loaf.  Pinch  off  pieces 
of  the  dough,  and  in  the  centre  of  each  piece  put  a  stoned  peach.  Koll 
up  in  the  dough  and  put  in  a  buttered  pan  some  distance  apart,  to  rise 
again.  Fry  in  hot  fat,  and  serve  with  any  kind  of  sauce.  Use  apricots 
or  canned  peaches  in  the  same  way.  lw

FISH. 


|ISH  is  considered  a  very  reliable  article  of  food.  It  is  not  so  nutri- 
tious and  stimulating  as  meat,  but  very  wholesome.  It  is  espe- 
cially adapted  to  people  upon  whom  there  are  great  demands  for 
nervous  energy.  It  is  so  easily  digested  and  contains  so  little  fat  and 
is  richer  in  phosphorus  than  meat.  Fish,  to  be  eatable,  must  be  per- 
fectly fresh.  Good  fish  will  have  a  firm,  hard  meat.  If  it  looks  pale 
and  limp  reject  it  as  unfit  to  cook.  Fish  should  be  cleaned  as  soon  as 
caught.  Remove  the  scales  with  a  sharp  knife  and  cut  off  the  head 
and  tail.  Wash  in  cold  salted  water  thoroughly,  and  wipe  dry,  then 
place  on  the  ice  until  ready  to  cook.  Do  not  soak  fresh  fish.  Always 
cook  fish  very  well  done.  )Ve  have  the  salt  water,  fresh  water  and 
shell  fish.  Pieces  of  cold  fish  left  over  make  very  nice  salads  and  cro- 
quettes. Large  fish  are  usually  boiled  and  the  small  ones  fried.  Oily 
fish,  as  mackerel,  salmon,  blue  fish,  should  never  be  fried. 

Baked  Fish. 

Prepare  a  fish  as  given  above ;  rub  the  fish  inside  and  out  with 
salt  and  pepper.  Fill  with  a  dressing  made  of  bread  crumbs.  Sew  it 
up  and  put  in  a  hot  pan  with  beef  drippings  and  a  piece  of  butter. 
Sprinkle  over  it  a  little  flour.  Bake  an  hour.  This  is  especially  nice 
for  white  fish.  The  dressing  can  be  left  out.  Lay  pieces  of  salt  pork 
on  top  of  the  fish. 

Baked  Trout. 

Clean  well  and  wipe  dry.  Lay  on  a  rack  in  a  roasting  pan.  Bake 
slowly,  basting  with  butter  and  water.  When  done  serve  with  a  white 
sauce  poured  around  it. 

-    Boiled  Fish. 

To  make  boiled  fish  palatable,  serve  always  with  a  rich  sauce. 
Put  the  fish  in  hot  water  with  a  teaspoonful  of  salt.  Cook  thirty  min- 
utes. Put  the  fish  in  a  piece  of  strong  white  cotton  cloth  if  you  have 
no  fish  kettle.  This  keeps  it  in  shape.  Put  a  tablespoon  of  vinegar  in 
the  water  in  which  the  fish  is  boiled.  ix

Baked  Fish  With  Oyster  Stuffing. 

Remove  the  head,  tail  and  skin.  Rub  with  salt  and  lemon 
juice.  Make  a  dressing  as  follows  :  One  pint  of  oysters,  one  cup  of  sea- 
soned and  buttered  cracker  or  bread  crumbs.  Drain  oysters  and  roll 
in  the  crumbs.  Fill  the  fish  and  sprinkle  the  crumbs  over  it.  Bake 
in  the  oven  over  a  little  water  in  a  roasting  pan  forty  minutes.  Serve 
with  tomato  either  poured  around  it  or  in  side  dishes. 

Fried  Fish. 

All  small  fish  like  brook  trout,  smelts,  etc.,  are  best  fried.  Salt 
them  well  after  they  are  cleaned  and  dried,  and  roll  in  Indian  meal  or 
flour.  Fry  half  a  pound  of  salt  pork  a  crisp  brown.  Take  the  pork 
from  the  pan  and  put  in  the  fish.  Fry  brown  on  one  side  and  turn  and 
fry  brown  on  the  other.    Flour  can  be  used  in  place  of  Indian  meal. 

Salt  Codfish. 

The  fish  should  be  washed  and  soaked  in  several  waters.  Put  on 
in  cold  water,  and  as  soon  as  it  comes  to  a  boil  put  on  the  back  of  the 
stove,  and  keep  it  hot ;  but  do  not  let  it  boil.  Pour  off  the  water  and 
pour  on  a  cream  sauce,  or  serve  the  fish  with  drawn  butter. 

Fish  Balls. 

Prepare  codfish  as  above.  Take  mashed  potatoes  left  from  dinner ; 
season  well  with  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  A  beaten  egg  makes  them 
lighter.  Mix  thoroughly  with  the  codfish.  Form  with  the  hands 
into  flat  cakes  and  fry  brown  in  hot  lard  or  dripoings. 

Canned  Salmon. 

This  is  nice  served  with  a  warm  cream  sauce,  or  heat  a  cup  of  milk, 
add  a  large  piece  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  Pour  over  the  fish  and 
let  it  stand  in  a  hot  oven  for  a  few  minutes.  Serve  hot.  Salt  mack- 
erel is  nice  served  this  way. 

Turbot. 

Cook  a  white  fish  tender.  Remove  the  bones.  Season  with  pepper 
and  salt  Take  one  pint  of  milk  and  thicken  with  two  tablespoons  of 
flour.  When  cool  add  two  eggs,  two  tablespoons  of  butter  and  a  little 
chopped  onion  and  parsley.  Put  in  a  baking  dish  a  layer  of  crumbs , 
then  a  layer  of  fish.  Cover  the  top  with  crumbs  and  pour  over  all  the 
sauce.  Bake  half  an  hour.  A  grating  of  cheese  makes  it  nice.  Use 
haddock  in  place  of  white  fish.  ly

SHELL  FISH. 

Clam  Stew. 

Take  half  a  peck  of  clams,  wash  the  shells.  Put  in  a  kettle  with 
a  cup  of  water.  Cook  until  the  shells  open.  Take  out  of  the  shells, 
strain  the  juice  and  let  the  clams  come  to  a  boil.  Add  one  pint  of 
milk,  a  large  piece  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt  and  a  few  small  crackers 
rolled  fine.  To  fry  them  take  them  from  the  shells  and  dry  them,  roll 
in  beaten  egg  and  cracker  crumbs  and  fry  in  hot  lard. 

Crabs. 

Remove  from  the  shells  the  same  as  clams.  Dip  in  beaten  egg 
and  cracker  crumbs  and  fry  brown.     Serve  with  tartar  sauce. 

Lobster. 

The  lobster  should  be  perfectly  fresh.  Never  cook  it  too  long,  for 
long  cooking  makes  it  tough.  Prepare  the  lobster  as  given  in  the  mis- 
cellaneous recipes.  Lobster  can  be  broiled  by  covering  it  with  soft  but- 
ter, and  dredge  it  with  flour.  Place  on  a  broiler  and  cook  a  delicate 
brown. 

Stewed  Lobster. 

Take  the  meat  of  a  lobster  and  cut  it  into  small  pieces.  Put  two 
tablespoons  of  butter,  two  of  flour,  two  cups  of  water  or  stock,  pepper 
and  salt.  Add  the  lobster,  cook  ten  minutes  and  serve.  This  mix- 
ture, when  cold,  can  be  cut  up  into  chops  and  dipped  in  beaten  egg  and 
crumbs  and  fried  in  boiling  fat.  Garnish  with  parsley  and  slices  of 
lemon. 

Oysters  on  the  Half  Shell. 

Do  not  open  until  ready  to  serve.  Place  six  oysters  on  each  plate 
in  half  the  shell  and  a  piece  of  lemon  placed  in  the  centre  of  the  plate. 

Raw  Oysters  on  Ice. 

Take  a  block  of  ice  and  make  a  hole  in  the  top  by  putting  on  a  very 
hot  flatiron.  Pour  off"  the  water  and  repeat  this  until  there  is  quite  a 
cavity.  Season  the  oysters  with  salt,  pepper  and  vinegar.  Put  in  a 
cool  place.  Pour  the  oysters  in  the  cavity  and  cover  with  pieces  of 
lemon.    Cover  the  oysters  with  parsley  or  some  bright  flowers.  is

Scalloped  Oysters. 

One  pint  of  oysters.  Butter  a  dish.  Put  in  a  layer  of  crumbs,  but- 
ter, pepper  and  salt  and  a  layer  of  oysters  and  so  on  until  the  dish 
is  full,  finishing  with  a  layer  of  crumbs.  Moisten  with  milk  or  water. 
Bake  until  brown.  Use  the  liquor  also  for  wetting.  A  cup  of  cream  is 
an  addition.  Some  add  lemon  juice,  wine  or  Worcestershire  sauce- 
Oysters  are  nice  escalloped  in  shells.  Prepare  the  same  as  above 
and  serve  in  shells. 

Fried  Oysters. 

Drain  carefully  and  pick  out  all  the  bits  of  shell,  season  with  salt 
and  pepper.  Roll  in  beaten  egg,  then  in  cracker  crumbs  and  drop 
singly  into  hot  fat.  Skim  out  and  serve  with  cold  slaw  or  slices  of 
lemon.  Some  use  Indian  meal  in  place  of  cracker  crumbs.  First  roll 
in  the  meal,  then  in  the  egg  and  again  in  the  meal. 

Creamed  Oysters. 

Parboil  the  oysters  until  plump.  Make  a  cream  sauce  and  season 
with  cayenne  and  celery  salt.  Pour  over  the  oysters.  Serve  on  slices 
of  toast. 

Panned  Oysters. 

Take  large  oysters — about  a  dozen  large  ones.  Put  on  the  oysters 
in  their  liquor ;  add  a  tablespoon  of  butter,  a  little  lemon  juice,  a  table- 
spoon of  fine  cracker  crumbs.  Season  with  salt  and  pepper  and  a  little 
cayenne.    Cook  one  minute  and  place  on  slices  of  nice  buttered  toast. 

Broiled  Oysters. 

Take  large  oysters,  drain  and  dry  them.  Season  with  pepper  and 
salt,  and  broil  on  a  wire  broiler  or  place  on  a  rack  under  the  blaze  in 
the  oven  of  a  gas  range  and  turn  when  brown.  Dip  in  butter  and  then 
in  powdered  crumbs  and  broil. 

Oyster  Patties. 

Take  oysters  and  put  in  a  pan  with  their  liquor.  Add  a  cup  of 
milk,  a  little  lemon  rind,  a  large  piece  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt. 
Stir  into  the  milk-  a  teaspoon  of  flour ;  stir  and  let  the  mixture  sim- 
mer for  a  few  minutes.  Line  patty  pans  with  puff  paste.  Fill 
while  hot  with  the  oysters.  2a

MEAT. 


EAT  is  a  term  given  to  the  muscular  flesh,  heart,  liver,  brains, 
HH  tongue  and  fat  of  animals.  We  have  three  classes— meat, 
poultry  and  game.  Meat  should  always  be  cooked  in  such  a 
way  as  to  retain  the  largest  proportion  of  juice.  To  boil  fresh  meat  to 
retain  the  juice,  put  into  boiling  water  and  boil  rapidly  for  fifteen 
minutes,  then  let  it  simmer  slowly  until  done.  Salt  sets  the  juices 
free.  When  meat  is  boiled  for  stock,  use  cold  water  to  extract  all 
the  juice  and  nutriment  in  the  meat.  Boil  meat  always  slowly  and 
keep  covered  closely.  Salt  meat  should  be  put  on  in  cold  water  and 
the  water  changed  several' times  according  to  the  saltness  o'f  it.  In 
roasting  meats  baste  frequently,  and  turn ;  to  roast  them  evenly  the 
new  roasting  pans  with  racks  do  the  work  with  very  little  care.  Have 
the  oven  very  hot  when  the  meat  is  first  put  in  and  after  twenty 
minutes  lower  and  keep  a  regular  fire.  The  time  of  roasting  depends 
on  the  size  of  the  roast.  Allow  for  rare  meats  fifteen  minutes  to  the 
pound  and  twenty  for  roasts  well  done.  Broiling  is  the  most  wholesome 
way  of  cooking  steaks,  chops,  ham,  etc.  Frying  in  fat  renders  the 
meat  not  nearly  so  digestible.  We  use  meat  all  seasons  of  the  year, 
but  certain  kinds  are  better  at  certain  seasons.  Beef  at  all  times,  and 
is  the  staple  meat.  Pork  is  good  in  fall  and  winter,  veal  in  the  spring, 
lamb  in  the  summer  and  poultry  and  game  in  the  fall  and  winter. 
Good  beef  has  a  firm  flesh  and  should  be  a  bright  red,  the  fat  dry  and 
crumble  easily.  It  is  much  better  some  time  after  it  is  killed;  at 
least  a  week  old.  Mutton  and  lamb  are  best  kept  for  some  time  be- 
fore cooking.  In  veal  the  fat  should  be  white  and  the  flesh  pink  or 
flesh  color.  If  it  is  white  the  blood  has  been  taken  out  of  the  calf 
before  it  has  been  killed,  and  it  is  unfit  to  eat.  Veal  to  be  palatable 
should  be  highly  seasoned  and  cooked  very  well  done.  Pork  is  the 
hardest  meat  to  digest  and  should  never  be  eaten  by  children  or  people 
with  weak  stomachs.  It  is  very  important  to  cook  pork  thoroughly 
and  very  well  done.  The  meat  of  poultry  is  excellent  for  invalids,  as 
it  abounds  in  phosphorus.  All  game  has  a  strong  odor.  It  should 
be  kept  until  tender,  but  no  longer.    All  poultry  and  game  should  be

cleaned  and  drawn  as  soon  as  they  are  killed.  In  choosing  chickens 
and  turkeys  choose  those  which  have  short,  plump  legs  and  y3llow 
feet,  and  the  breasts  firm  and  plump.  Feel  of  the  cartilage  at  the  end 
of  the  breast  bone ;  if  it  is  soft  the  fowl  is  young  and  tender,  if  hard 
and  not  pliable  it  is  old  and  tough. 

Roast  Beef. 

Wipe  the  meat  with  a  clean  towel,  dredge  the  sides  and  top  with 
flour,  pepper  and  salt.  Place  on  a  rack  in  a  roasting  pan  and  put  in  a 
very  hot  oven  ;  have  the  pan  hot.  Cover  closely  and  allow  for  rare 
beef  fifteen  minutes  to  a  pound.  If  the  meat  is  roasted  in  a  com- 
mon dripping  pan  put  in  a  little  water  and  baste  occasionally.  Un- 
cover your  pan  a  few  minutes  before  the  meat  is  done  to  brown  nicely. 
Flour  and  salt  together  forms  a  paste  which  retains  the  juices  of  the 
meat.  Yorkshire  pudding  is  nice  baked  and  served  with  roast  beef. 
(Look  in  the  recipes  for  Yorkshire  pudding.) 

Broiled  Beefsteak. 

Lay  a  thick,  tender  beefsteak  on  a  gridiron  with  a  little  beef  suet 
over  a  bed  of  hot  coals  or  place  the  rack  under  the  blaze  of  a  gas  range. 
When  done  on  one  side,  turn  quickly  and  cook  the  other.  Put  on  a  hot 
platter,  season  with  pepper,  salt  and  bits  of  butter. 

Beefsteak  and  Onions. 

Slice  the  onions  thin.  Put  the  steak  in  a  hot  pan,  cover  with 
the  onions  and  season  with  salt  and  pepper.  Cover  tightly.  When 
the  meat  has  been  browned  on  one  side  remove  the  onions,  turn  the 
steak,  replace  them  and  cook  until  done. 

Beef  Loaf. 

Three  pounds  of  beef  chopped  fine,  one-half  a  pound  of  salt 
pork  chopped  fine  ;  mix  with  three  well  beaten  eggs,  six  crackers  rolled 
fine,  one  tablespoon  of  salt,  teaspoon  of  pepper  and  sage  and  thyme 
to  taste.  Put  bits  of  butter  and  a  little  water  in  a  pan  and  bake 
an  hour  and  a  quarter.  Baste  occasionally.  Slice  when  served.  Veal 
can  be  used  in  the  place  of  beef. 

Beef  Tongue. 

Wash  a  fresh  tongue ;  cook  in  boiling  salted  water  with  a  small 
pod  of  red  pepper  in  it ;  boil  until  it  can  be  easily  pierced  with  a  fork  ; 
remove  the  skin  and  set  in  a  cool  place.  Serve  sliced  cold  for  lunch, 
or  serve  in  a  jelly.  2d

Pot  Roast. 

Take  a  good  piece  from  the  rump  or  round,  with  some  fat  in  it. 
Put  in  a  kettle  with  as  little  water  as  will  cover  it.  Cover  closely,  and 
as  the  water  boils  away  add  more.  When  the  meat  is  tender  the  water 
will  be  all  boiled  away.  The  fat  will  brown  it.  If  there  is  not  enough 
add  some  drippings  or  a  piece  of  butter.  Brown  over  a  slow  fire. 
Make  a  gravy  of  the  browned  drippings. 

Beef  alaMode. 

Take  six  pounds  of  good  round  beef.  Trim  off  rough  edges. 
Cut  half  a  pound  of  salt  pork  into  strips  half  an  inch  thick.  Soak  the 
beef  in  one  cup  of  boiling  vinegar  in  which  has  been  thrown  one  onion 
chopped  fine,  two  teaspoons  of  salt,  half  a  teaspoonful  of  mustard, 
pepper,  cloves  and  allspice.  Let  the  meat  stand  in  this.  Pierce  the 
beef  with  a  sharp  knife  with  holes  an  inch  apart.  Place  in  these 
holes  the  strips  of  pork.  Put  a  cloth  around  the  meat  and  pin  it 
securely.  Dredge  with  flour.  Put  chopped  onion,  carrot  and  half  a 
turnip  in  hot  fat,  and  fry  until  brown.  Brown  the  meat  in  the  fat  and 
the  vegetables.  Put  in  some  water  and  simmer  four  hours.  Garnish 
with  potato  balls  and  small  onions. 

Hamberg  Steak. 

Take  a  round  steak  and  pound  it  well.  Fry  two  or  three  onions 
brown,  in  butter ;  spread  the  onions  on  the  steak  and  fold  it ;  season 
with  salt,  pepper  and  butter,  and  fry  brown.  A  round  steak  can  be 
chopped  fine  and  mixed  with  the  fried  onions,  and  seasoned  well. 
Mold  into  flat  cakes  and  fry  well  done ." 

Corned  Beef. 

Soak  in  cold  water  for  an  hour  if  very  salt.  Put  in  cold  water,  and 
if  still  salt  change  the  water.  Simmer  slowly  for  several  hours.  This 
is  nice  with  a  boiled  dinner. 

Fried  Liver. 

Soak  ten  minutes  in  boiling  water  to  draw  out  the  blood;  drain  and 
remove  the  thin  skin ;  cut  into  pieces ;  cut  nice  slices  of  bacon,  fry  crisp, 
but  not  brown ;  take  out  and  fry  the  liver  in  the  bacon  fat.  This  can  be 
served  with  the  slices  of  bacon  and  a  brown  gravy  seasoned  with  onion 
and  lemon  juice.     Season  with  salt  and  pepper.  2e

Tripe. 

Drain,  dredge  with  flour  and  broil  on  a  gridiron ;  season  with»salt, 
pepper  and  butter,  or  dip  in  a  batter  made  of  egg  and  cracker  crumbs, 
and  fry  in  hot  lard. 

Lamb  Chops. 

Trim  and  broil  over  hot  fire  ;  season  with  salt  and  pepper,  and  serve 
with  green  peas .  Wrap  the  end  of  the  bone  of  each  cutlet  in  fringed 
tissue  paper  and  lay  them  overlapping  one  another  on  the  platter. 

Roast  Lamb. 

Prepare  and  roast  the  same  as  roast  beef.  Lamb  is  better  roasted 
longer  than  beef.     Serve  with  mint  sauce. 

Roast  Veal. 

Remove  the  bone  and  fill  the  cavity  with  highly  seasoned  and 
moist  dressing;  dredge  with  salt,  pepper  and  flour;  put  strips  of  salt 
pork  or  bacon  on  top,  and  bake  half  an  hour  for  each  pound.  Serve

Take  slices  of  veal  from  the  leg ;  remove  all  bone  and  skin ;  season

with  the  fat  left  in  the  pan  and  two  tablespoons  of  flour  and  a  cup  of 
water. 

Sweet-Breads. 

Those  found  in  veal  are  the  best.  They  are  two  glands  lying 
along  the  back  and  in  the  breast.  Put  them  in  cold  water ;  remove  the 
membranes;  cook  in  salted  water  with  a  tablespoon  of  lemon  juice; 
put  in  cold  water ;  roll  in  fine  bread  crumbs  and  beaten  egg,  and  fry 
in  hot  fat.  Fry  with  a  slice  of  bacon  fastened  to  each  side.  They  can

flour,  a  pinch  of  salt  and  a  little  baking  powder ;  fry  in  salt  pork  fat. 

Roast  Pork. 

The  loin  or  spareribs  are  the  best  for  roasting.  Rub  with  pepper, 
salt  and  flour  and  bake  thfrty  minutes  for  each  pound.  Rub  with  a 
little  sage  and  thyme.     Bake  well  done.  2f

Ham. 

Ham  is  best  broiled  over  a  quick  fire  on  a  gridiron.  Serve  with 
dropped  or  poached  eggs .  If  the  ham  is  very  salt  freshen  it  with  a 
little  cold  water  and  bring  it  to  the  boiling  point. 

Boiled  Ham. 

Pour  boiling  water  over  it  and  let  it  stand  until  cold.  Put  in  a 
large  kettle  and  boil  five  hours.  Pull  off  the  skin.  Put  in  an  oven 
awhile.  This  brings  out  a  great  quantity  of  fat.  Serve  the  nicest  part 
in  slices  cold.    Save  the  bits  for  sandwiches  and  omelets.

Either  grate,  or  pound  the  stale  bread  in  a  bag ;  add  half  a  cup  of  milk, 
half  a  cup  of  butter  and  the  yolk  of  an  egg.  Season  with  a  teaspoon  of 
salt,  half  a  teaspoonful  of  powdered  sage  and  summer  savory,  a  tea- 
spoon ef  chopped  parsley  and  pepper.  Fill  the  chicken  and  sew  up. 
Baste  in  the  oven  every  ten  or  fifteen  minutes  with  a  little  water  and 
butter,  or  dredge  with  salt  and  rub  a  little  butter  over  the  chicken  and 
dredge  with  flour.    This  keeps  in  the  juices. 

Fried  Chicken. 

Cut  up  a  chicken  by  cutting  through  the  loose  skin  between  the 
legs  and  body ;  bend  the  legs  over  and  cut  at  the  joint.  Then  cut  off 
the  wings.  Make  an  incision  in  the  skin  near  the  vent  and  cut  the  mem- 
brane lying  between  the  breastbone  and  the  tail  down  the  backbone 
on  each  side.  Now  you  can  easily  remove  the  gizzard,  liver,  heart  and 
intestines.  Remove  the  crop  carefully.  Fry  the  back,  thighs,  legs  and 
wings  in  hot  fat  or  drippings  from  salt  pork  or  bacon.  After  these 
have  fried  awhile  put  in  the  breast.  Season  with  chopped  onion, 
herbs,  and  salt  and  pepper.  Turn  when  browned  and  done  on  one 
side  and  brown  on  the  other.  This  is  only  nice  for  very  young,  tender 
fowls.  When  the  chicken  is  older  and  larger  steam,  or  cook  tender, 
and  then  fry  as  directed.  Serve  with  the  heart  and  liver  fried 
brown.     Garnish  with  fried  oysters  or  rice  croquettes.  2g

Chicken  Fricassee. 

Out  the  chicken  up  as  directed.  Put  in  boiling  water  and  add  a 
little  salt  and  pepper.  Cook  an  hour  and  a  half  or  less  time  accord- 
ing to  the  age  of  the  chicken.  Remove  the  bones.  Dredge  the  meat 
with  flour,  salt  and  pepper  and  brown  in  hot  butter  or  fry  out  a  few 
slices  of  salt  pork  and  use  the  fat  to  brown  the  chicken.  Strain  the 
liquor,  add  the  fat  left  in  the  pan,  one  cup  of  cream  or  milk,  a  large 
tablespoon  of  butter  and  two  of  flour  and  the  last  thing  a  well  beaten 
egg.    Put  a  sliced  onion  in  the  water  in  which  the  chicken  was  boiled. 

Chicken  Stew. 

Prepare  the  chicken  as  above,  and  instead  of  frying,  add  a  table- 
spoon of  butter,  a  tablespoon  of  flour  and  season  with  pepper  and  salt. 
Dumplings  can  be  added  if  desired.  Serve  with  the  gravy  poured 
around  the  chicken  and  surround  with  the  dumplings.  A  few  toma- 
toes cut  up  and  a  sliced  onion  with  parsley,  cayenne  and  black  pepper 
makes  a  palatable  stew. 

Chicken  Pie. 

Prepare  the  chicken  as  for  a  stew  and  season  the  same.  Put  in  a 
deep  dish  with  a  bottom  and  top  crust  and  bake.  Make  a  rich  baking 
powder  or  sour  milk  crust  and  cut  incisions  in  the  top  to  let  out  the 
steam.  A  few  sliced  potatoes,  a  sliced  onion,  a  little  chopped  parsley 
and  celery  improves  the  pie  greatly.  Some  use  only  the  top  crust  and 
it  is  a  better  plan  to  do  so. 

Roast  Turkey. 

Prepare  the  turkey  by  singeing  the  hairs.  Remove  the  pin  feathers 
with  a  knife.  Cut  the  head  off,  remove  the  wind  pipe  and  crop.  Re- 
move the  internal  organs  and  wash  inside  and  out  thoroughly.  Fill 
with  a  dressing  and  sew  up.  Put  the  turkey  on  the  rack  in  the  pan, 
rub  well  with  soft  butter  and  dredge  with  flour,  pepper  aud  salt.  Baste 
often  and  when  half  the  time  is  up,  turn.  Allow  three  hours  for  an  eight- 
pound  turkey.  Serve  with  cranberry  sauce.  Use  oystee  dressing  in 
place  of  the  dressing  given.  Dressing:  Take  one  pint  of  fine  bread 
crumbs.  Season  highly  with  powdered  herbs,  pepper  and  salt.  Moisten 
with  half  a  cup  of  butter  and  milk  to  make  it  quite  moist.  Add  one 
well  beaten  egg.    (See  "Miscellaneous"  for  oyster  dressing.)  ah

Chicken  Curry. 

Cut  up  the  chicken  and  remove  the  bones.  Season  with  salt  and 
pepper,  and  brown  in  hot  butter.  Fry  a  large  onion  cut  in  slices  in 
the  butter  left,  add  a  tablespoon  of  flour,  teaspoon  of  sugar  and  a  tea- 
spoonful  of  curry  powder.  Brown  in  the  butter ;  add  one  cup  of  water 
or  stock,  a  cup  of  strained  tomatoes,  and  salt  and  pepper  to  taste. 
Pour  this  on  the  chicken  and  cook  an  hour  longer.  Serve  with  a  bor- 
der of  boiled  rice.    Use  veal  and  lamb  in  the  same  way. 

Scalloped  Turkey. 

Take  bits  of  turkey  left  from  dinner,  butter  a  pan,  sprinkle  in  a 
layer  of  crumbs,  then  a  layer  of  chopped  cold  turkey.  Season  with 
salt  and  pepper ;  add  another  layer  of  crumbs  and  so  on  until  the  pan 
is  full.  Moisten  well  with  milk.  Add  bits  of  dressing  and  gravy  left 
over.  This  is  better  than  all  milk.  Bake  brown.  Cold  turkey  minced 
makes  very  nice  croquettes  and  omelets. 

Roast  Ducks. 

Pick,  singe  and  dress  the  same  as  a  turkey.  Tie  the  wings  and 
legs  securely  and  stuff  with  a  pint  of  bread  crumbs,  three  ounces  of 
butter,  (bits  of  salt  pork  are  nice)  two  chopped  onions,  teaspoon  of 
mixed  powdered  herbs,  and  salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Do  not  stuff 
very  full  and  stitch  the  opening  firmly  together  to  keep  the  fat  out. 
Place  in  a  roasting  pan  and  baste  occasionally  with  salt  and  water. 
Turn  often  and  bake  for  a  full  hour ;  if  very  young  thirty  minutes. 
Some  always  parboil  a  duck  or  goose  before  roasting.  It  is  a  good 
plan,  for  it  disposes  of  some  of  the  surplus  fat.  A  dressing  of  equal 
parts  of  mashed  potatoes  and  onions,  seasoned  well,  can  be  used  if  pre- 
ferred. 

Rabbits. 

Skin  and  prepare  as  in  fricasseed  chicken  or  chicken  stew.  Serve 
with  a  white  sauce  the  same  as  with  chicken.  To  make  a  pie  of  them 
follow  the  directions  for  chicken  pie.  2i

Meat  Pie. 

Take  cold  meat,  beef,  turkey,  veal  or  lamb,  left  from  dinner;  re- 
move all  gristle  and  fat,  and  cut  in  thin  slices  ;  put  in  a  pudding  dish 
and  cover  with  the  gravy  left  or  with  tomato  ;  spread  mashed  potatoes 
that  are  left  from  dinner  over  the  meat.  Cover  with  beaten  egg  and 
cracker  crumbs,  and  bake  twenty  minutes. 

Meat  Pie.     - 

Take  nice  slices  of  any  kind  of  meat  left  from  dinner.  Cook  it  up 
in  the  gravy  or  water,  thickened  a  little.  Add  a  little  chopped  onion 
and  potato,  a  sprig  of  parsley  chopped  well,  a  little  sage  and  pepper, 
and  salt  to  taste.  Cover  with  a  nice  baking  powder  crust.  Make  large 
incisions  in  the  top  and  bake  in  a  hot  oven  thirty  minutes.  Look  in 
pastry  for  a  recipe  for  the  crust  for  a  meat  pie. 

Scalloped  Mutton. 

Take  cold  roast  mutton  and  cut  in  thin  slices  ;  season  with  salt  and 
pepper;  butter  a  dish;  put  in  a  layer  of  bread  or  cracker  crumbs,  a 
layer  of  meat,  a  layer  of  oysters,  then  tomato,  and  lastly  a  layer  of 
meat  and  crumbs.  Season  each  layer  with  pieces  of  butter  and  pepper 
and  salt ;  moisten  with  gravy  left  over  or  stock  of  some  kind.  Maca- 
roni can  be  used  in  place  of  oysters. 

Turkish  Rice. 

One  cup  of  stewed  and  strained  tomatoes ;  to  this  add  a  cup  ol 
stock  seasoned  with  salt,  pepper  and  a  little  minced  onion.  While 
boiling  add  a  cup  of  rice  ;  stir  lightly  and  add  the  last  thing  a  large 
piece  of  butter ;  steam  twenty  minutes  in  a  double  cooker ;  serve  as  an 
entree  or  a  garnish  for  fried  chicken. 

Dutch  Cheese. 

Place  the  milk  in  a  pan  on  the  back  of  the  stove  and  scald  it  until 
the  curd  separates  from  the  whey  ;  strain  in  a  cloth  and  wring  quite 
dry.  Put  in  a  bowl,  and  with  a  large  piece  of  butter,  salt  and  a  cup  of 
cream ;  mix  to  a  smooth  paste.  Roll  into  small  balls,  and  put  in  a 
cool  place ;  season  with  sage  if  you  like  the  flavor.  There  should  be  at 
least  ten  quarts  of  lobbered  milk.  2m

102  COMMON  SENSE  COOK  BOOK. 

Dumplings. 

One  pint  of  flour,  half  a  teaspoon  of  soda  and  a  teaspoon  cream  of 
tartar  or  heaping  teaspoon  of  baking  powder,  one  teaspoon  of  sugar, 
half  a  teaspoon  of  salt,  one  teacup  of  milk,  one  egg.  Drop  by  spoon- 
fuls into  the  soup  or  turn  out  on  the  board  and  cut  into  small 
cakes.  Do  not  let  the  soup  cease  boiling  while  the  dumplings  are  in 
it ;  they  require  about  fifteen  minutes.  Do  not  let  the  steam  escape 
but  keep  covered  closely.  Another  recipe  for  dumplings  is,  two  eggs, 
a  cup  of  sweet  milk  and  enough  flour  to  make  a  stiff  batter. 

Balls  for  Soup. 

Egg  balls  are  made  by  mxing  enough  corn  starch  with  two  raw 
eggs  to  make  into  round  balls.  Drop  in  the  soup  and  cook  ten 
minutes. 

Force  meat  balls. — To  a  pound  of  chopped  beef  or  veal  add  one 
egg,  a  lump  of  butter,  a  cup  of  bread  or  cracker  crumbs  ;  season  with 
salt  and  pepper  and  moisten  with  some  of  the  stock  in  which  the 
meat  was  cooked.     Make  into  balls  and  fry  brown  in  hot  lard. 

Lobsters. 

When  lobsters  are  purchased  alive  tie  the  claws  together  and 
plunge  into  boiling  water — about  a  gallon— in  which  is  a  tablespoon  of 
salt  and  a  teacup  of  vinegar.  Boil  for  thirty  minutes.  It  will  be  a 
bright  red.  Drain,  break  off  the  claws  and  tail,  remove  and  throw 
away  the  soft  fins  which  lie  under  the  legs.  Shake  out  the  coral  and 
tomalley.  Draw  the  body  from  the  shell,  split  the  lobster  through  the 
center  and  with  a  fork  pick  the  meat  from  the  joints.  Cut  under  side  of 
the  tail  shell,  open  and  take  out  meat  whole.  Kemember  that  the 
stomach  is  found  near  the  head  and  is  a  small  sack  in  which  is  poison- 
ous matter  and  should  be  removed,  also  the  dark  vein  found  in  the 
tail.    The  lobster  can  be  seasoned  and  prepared  in  different  ways. 

Oyster  Dressing. 

Take  one  pint  of  finely  grated  or  sifted  bread  crumbs,  add  three 
tablespoons  of  chopped  suet  or  butter,  a  spoonful  of  mixed  herbs,  half 
a  teaspoon  each  of  salt,  pepper  and  nutmeg  ;  add  one  pint  of  oysters 
cut  in  two  pieces  or  finer,  and  lastly  two  well  beaten  eggs.  If  not 
moist  enough  add  sweet  milk.  Mix  smoothly  and  stuff  turkey  or 
chicken  with  it.  2n

'SE  best  butter  or  lard.  Cottosuet  is  excellent  for  pie  crust 
and  very  digestable.  Always  have  your  shortening  fresh  and 
solid.  With  the  exception  of  mince  pies,  pastry  should  be 
eaten  the  day  it  is  made.  Make  enough  paste  to  use  at  once ;  if  any  is 
left  over  keep  it  in  the  ice  chest.  Always  mix  the  under  crust  a  little 
stiffer  than  the  upper  with  flour,  this  prevents  the  juice  from  soaking 
into  the  crust.  Some  use  a  beaten  egg  and  rub  it  over  the  crust  before 
putting  in  the  filling.  Always  wet  the  edges  of  the  lower  crust  wit  i 
water  or  beaten  egg,  this  causes  the  upper  crust  to  adhere  to  the  lower 
and  prevents  the  juice  from  running  out.  Have  the  oven  hot  when  the 
pie  is  first  put  in;  this  bakes  the  lower  crust  and  prevents  the  crust 
from  being  soggy  and  raw.  Remove  from  the  tins  as  the  crust  is  apt  to 
become  damp  and  taste  of  the  tin.  Always  make  opening  in  the  upper 
crust,  this  lets  out  the  steam,  and  especially  so  in  meat  pies  of  any 
kind.  In  making  meringues  for  pies  add  one  tablespoon  of  sugar  to 
the  white  of  one  egg.  Full  the  upper  crust  on  a  little  as  it  shrinks  in 
baking.  Pies  should  be  baked  from  half  to  three-quarters  of  an  hour ; 
mince  pies,  and  pumpkin  or  squash  require  a  good  hour  and  a  slow  fire. 

Good  Pie  Crust. 

Take  two  heaping  spoonfuls  of  lard  or  butter  to  one  cup  of  flour, 
and  a  pinch  of  salt.  Cut  well  into  the  flour  with  a  knife,  and  wet  whh 
water  to  make  a  stiff  dough .  Mix  as  little  as  possible.  This  is  enough 
for  the  upper  and  under  crust  of  one  pie.  Use  cottosuet  in  place  of 
lard. 

Pie  Crust.    2. 

To  one  pint  of  sifted  flour  add  one  even  teaspoon  of  baking  powder, 
a  little  salt,  and  sweet  cream  enough  to  make  a  stiff  paste.  This  is 
enough  for  two  pies. 

Pie  Crust.    3. 

One-half  cup  flour  before  sifting,  one-half  cup  of  butter  or  cotto- 
suet, three  tablespoons  of  water  and  a  pinch  of  salt.  In  mixing  the 
shortening  and  flour  use  a  knife.  Dredge  with  flour  and  roll  your 
under  crust  stiffer  with  flour  than  the  upper.  2o

Puff  Paste. 

One  quart  of  flour,  three-quarters  of  a  pound  of  butter  or  lard, 
yolks  of  two  eggs,  teaspoon  of  salt,  tablespoon  of  powdered  sugar. 
Mix  with  ice  water  in  a  cool  place.  Place  flour  on  the  board,  sprinkle 
over  the  salt  and  sugar,  and  egg  gradually,  beaten  up  with  a  little  ice 
water.     Mix  until  it  becomes  a  smooth  dough. 

Apple  Pie. 

Line  a  pan  with  crust ;  pare  and  slice  three  or  four  good  sized 
apples  and  spread  evenly  on  the  crust.  Sprinkle  with  a  small 
cup  of  sugar,  bits  of  butter  and  sift  a  little  cinnamon  over  it  all ;  dredge 
a  little  flour  over  the  pie  and  about  three  tablespoons  of  water.  If  the 
apples  are  not  very  sour  squeeze  the  juice  from  part  of  a  lemon  in  the 
pie.  Add  upper  crust  and  press  edges  firmly  together.  Bake  in  a  hot 
oven. 

Dried   Apple  Pie. 

Put  your  apples — enough  for  a  pie — in  warm  water,  and  soak  over 
night.  In  the  morning  stew  a  few  minutes  ;  add  a  little  sliced  lemon, 
and  sugar  to  taste.  Put  in  the  pie  and  sprinkle  a  little  flour  over  the 
apple,  and  bits  of  butter. 

Crab  Apple  Pie. 

Slice  the  crabs  very  thin,  and  make  the  same  as  the  first  recipe  for 
apple  pie.  Add  a  little  more  sugar,  as  they  are  apt  to  be  more  tart 
than  apples.  These  make  a  very  rich  pie,  unequaled  in  flavor  to  any 
other  kind  of  apple  pie. 

Apple  Shortcake. 

Line  a  tin  with  any  kind  of  crust.  With  a  soft  cloth  cover  with 
melted  butter ;  put  on  the  top  crust  and  bake.  Slice  and 'cook  your 
apples,  sweeten  and  flavor  with  a  little  cinnamon  or  nutmeg.  Separate 
the  upper  crust  from  the  under  crust,  and  fill  with  the  apple.  Replace 
the  crust,  and  serve  with  sweetened  cream.  In  place  of  apple  fill  with 
fresh  berries  or  sliced  peaches. 

Cream  Pie. 

To  one  pint  of  milk  add  a  pinch  of  salt,  and  a  teaspoon  of  butter. 
Let  the  milk  come  to  a  boil ;  add  the  yolks  of  three  eggs  well  beaten 
with  a  small  teacup  of  sugar  and  two  even  tablespoons  of  cornstarch. 
Bake  your  under  crust ;  fill  with  the  custard  and  spread  over  the  whites 
well  beaten  aud  sweetened  with  two  tablespoons  of  sugar.  Brown  in 
a  quick  oven.  2p

Cream  Fie.    2. 

Pour  a  pint  of  cream  upon  upon  a  large  cup  of  sugar ;  let  it  stand 
awhile.  Beat  the  whites  of  three  eggs ;  add  this  to  the  cream,  and  beat 
well.     This  will  make  two  pies  without  upper  crusts. 

Custard  Pie. 

For  one  pie  use  three  eggs  to  a  pint  of  rich  milk,  a  pinch  of  salt 
and  a  small  teaspoon  of  butter,  one-half  cup  of  sugar.  Let  it  bake 
until  it  custards,  but  does  not  water. 

Cocoanut  Pie. 

One  pint  of  milk,  one  cup  of  cocoanut,  three  eggs,  one  cup  sugar. 
Use  the  whites  for  a  meringue  for  the  top.  Bake  with  an  under  crust 
only.  Instead  of  the  dessicated  cocoanut  one  cocoanut  can  be  grated 
and  used. 

Lemon  Pie.  • 

One  lemon ;  grate  the  rind,  and  squeeze  out  all  the  juice ;  put  all 
in  a  bowl  and  pour  over  it  one  cup  of  boiling  water.  When  cool  strain, 
and  add  the  yolks  of  two  eggs,  a  small  piece  of  butter,  one  cup  of  sugar, 
two  teaspoons  of  corn  starch.  Bake  your  under  crust,  fill  with  the 
custard ;  spread  on  the  whites  beaten  to  a  stiff  froth  and  sweetened 
with  two  tablespoons  of  sugar.     Eeturn  to  oven  and  brown. 

Lemon  Pie.     2. 

One  lemon  grated  rind  and  juice,  yolks  of  three  eggs,  teaspoon  of 
of  butter,  three  tablespoons  of  milk,  one  teaspoon  of  cornstarch,  one 
cup  of  sugar.  Prepare  as  the  recipe  above  says,  leaving  out  the  boiling 
water. 

Pie  Plant  Pie. 

Cut  up  pie  plant  in  small  pieces  enough  for  one  pie ;  add  one  well 
beaten  egg,  a  large  cup  of  sugar.  Mix  well.  Putin  the  crust  and  bake 
slowly  about  three-quarters  of  an  hour. 

Squash  Pie. 

A  good  cup  of  stewed  and  sifted  squash,  two  eggs,  one-half  cup  of 
sugar,  butter  size  of  an  egg,  one  pint  of  sweet  milk,  one-half  teaspoon 
each  of  cinnamon,  cloves  and  nutmeg.  Beat  all  together,  and  add 
milk ;  warm  and  bake  in  a  deep  tin  with  a  rich  under  crust. 

Rice  Pie. 

One-half  cup  of  boiled  rice,  one  cup  of  milk,  one-half  of  sugar,  two 
eggs,  large  piece  of  butter.  Flavor  with  a  little  cinnamon,  and  put  in 
a  handful  of  raisins  seeded.    Bake  with  under  crast  only.  2q 


COMMON  SENSE  COOK  BOOK.  107 

Pumpkin  Pie. 

Cut  a  pumpkin  into  thin  slices,  and  boil  until  tender  in  as  little 
water  as  possible.  Stir  often  to  prevent  its  scorching.  Mash  the 
pumpkin  and  let  it  stand  on  the  back  of  the  stove  until  all  the  water 
has  dried  away.  Rub  through  a  sieve.  Add  sugar  enough  to  sweeten  it 
well,  a  lump  of  butter,  a  teaspoon  each  of  cinnamon,  ginger  and  cloves, 
one  nutmeg.  Let  it  cook  slowly.  This  will  be  enough  for  several  pies 
and  can  be  kept  in  the  ice  chest.  For  one  pie  take  a  large  cup  of 
the  pumpkin,  a  pint  of  milk  and  one  egg.  (A  little  cream  is  nice.) 
Sweeten  to  taste.  Bake  with  an  under  crust  a  good  hour  in  a  slow 
oven.  ^ 

Pork  Pie. 

Line  a  pan  with  crust,  pare  and  slice  good,  sour  apples,  put^a  layer 
in  the  bottom,  seasoning  with  sugar  and  allspice.  Shave  very  thin 
slices  of  salt  pork,  and  put  a  layer  on  top  of  the  apples,  and  pep- 
per. Repeat  this  until  the  pan  is  full.  Cover  with  a  crust,  and  bake 
two  and  one-half  hours. 

Mince  Meat. 

Boil  six  or  eight  pounds  of  good  beef  tender.  Take  off  scum  as  it 
rises,  and  salt  just  before  it  is  done.  Put  away  to  cool.  Remove  all 
bones  and  bits  of  gristle,  chop  very  fine.  Make  the  mince  meat  in  the 
proportion  of  two  bowls  of  chopped  apples  to  one  of  meat,  and  one  cup 
of  suet  chopped  fine.  To  this  add  the  grated  rind  and  juice  of  a  lemon, 
a  cup  of  molasses,  cup  of  brown  sugar,  one  quart  of  cider,  one-half  pint 
of  boiled  cider,  one  pound  of  raisins  chopped  and  seeded,  one-half 
pound  of  currants,  one  large  teaspoon  each  of  cinnamon,  cloves  and 
nutmeg,  one-fourth  pound  of  citron,  teaspoon  of  salt,  a  little  black 
pepper.  A  pint  of  cranberries  cooked  and  put  through  a  sieve  gives  a 
nice  flavor.  Cook  this  preparation  until  all  the  apples  are  cooked.  It 
requires  a  good  hour  or  longer.  If  not  juicy  enough  add  syrup  from 
sweet  pickles,  or  canned  currants.  This  quantity,  doubled  and  put 
away  in  a  jar  in  a  cold  place,  will  keep  all  winter.  For  baking  take 
out  enough  for  a  pie  ;  if  nof  moist  enough  add  the  juice  of  some  kind  of 
canned  fruit.  If  none  is  to  be  had,  a  little  hot  water.  If  not  sweet 
enough  sprinkle  on  a  little  more  sugar,  bits  of  butter,  a  few  whole 
raisins,  and  lastly  two  tablespoons  of  brandy.  The  brandy  adds 
greatly  to  the  flavor  of  the  pies.  In  making  this  mince  meat  one  must 
be  guided  by  their  own  judgment  as  to  sweetness  and  seasoning. 
Mince  pies  must  be  baked  in  a  slow  oven  some  length  of  time,  at  least 
an  hour.  Do  not  make  too  rich  a  crust  for  them,  as  they  are  rich  in 
themselves.  2r

Washington  Pie. 

Cup  of  sugar,  one  egg,  small  half  cup  butter,  one-half  cup  sweet 
milk,  two  teaspoons  baking  powder,  two  cups  of  flour.  Bake  in  two 
layers,  and  fill  with  jelly  or  jam.  Sprinkle  powdered  sugar  on  top, 
and  serve  when  partly  cold  as  a  dessert. 

Cranberry  Pie. 

Bake  two  crusts,  using  any  recipe  for  nice  rich  cruet.  Put  bits  of 
butter  between  so  as  to  separate  easily.  Cook  cranberries,  enough 
for  a  pie ;  sweeten  to  taste  just  before  removing  from  the  fire.  Place 
the  jelly  between  the  crusts  when  slightly  cooled.  Sprinkle  powdered 
sugar  on  top. 

Peach  Cobbler. 

Take  one  quart  of  flour,  add  one-half  cup  of  butter  or  lard,  salt, 
two  teaspoons  of  baking  powder.  Mix  with  either  milk  or  water.  Mix 
soft,  and  line  a  dish  with  an  under  crust.  Put  melted  butter  between, 
and  lay  on  an  upper  crust.  Bake,  and  when  done,  split  open  and  fill 
with  peaches,  sliced  and  sweetened,  or  any  kind  of  fresh  fruit.  Serve 
with  cream.    Whipped  cream  is  delicious  placed  on  the  top. 

Chopped  Cranberry  Pie. 

One  quart  of  cranberries  chopped,  add  two  cups  oi  sugar  and  half 
a  cup  of  molasses.  Dissolve  one  tablespoon  of  corn  starch  in  a  little 
cold  water,  and  add  one  and  one-half  cups  of  boiling  water.  Stir  all 
together,  and  bake  with  two  crusts.  This  will  make  three  pies. 
Divide  the  recipe  for  one  large  pie.       ^ 

Sweet  Potato  Pie. 

When  the  potatoes  are  dry  and  mealy,  take  a  quart  after  they  have 
been  pared,  boiled  and  mashed;  add  a  quart  of  milk,  four  eggs,  a  little 
sal't,  cinnamon  and  sugar  to  taste.  Bake  with  one  crust.  Half  of  this 
will  make  one  good  pie. 

Short  Cake. 

One  quart  of  flour,  two  heaping  teaspoons  of  baking  powder,  half 
a  cup  of  butter,  two  tablespoons  of  sugar,  a  little  salt,  enough  sweet 
milk  to  make  a  soft  dough.  Roll  soft ;  do  not  mix.  Roll  in  two  layers 
and  place  pieces  of  butter  between  so  they  will  separate  easily.  Bake 
in  a  quick  oven.  Spread  fruit  between  the  layers  and  on  top.  Sprinkle 
with  sugar,  and  serve  with  whipped  cream.  This  will  make  four 
layers  if  desired.  Strawberries,  raspberries  or  peaches  can  be  used 
for  fruit.  2s

Berry  Pie. 

Always  allow  two  heaping  spoonfuls  of  sugar,  one  teaspoon  of  corn 
starch  or  one  tablespoon  of  flour  to  one  pie.  Put  your  berries  in  the 
tin  lined  with  an  under  crust,  and  sprinkle  sugar  and  flour  over  them. 
Use  your  judgment  as  to  quantity  of  sugar  according  to  their  tartness 
or  juiciness.  Gooseberries  and  cranberries  or  green  grapes  require  a 
large  quantity  of  sugar.  Press  the  two  crusts  together  firmly  to  pre- 
vent the  juice  from  running  out.  Some  take  a  strip  of  clean  white 
cloth  wet  and  fold  around  the  edge.  When  the  pie  is  taken  out  strip 
off  the  cloth,  and  the  edge  is  nice  and  brown,  .not  burnt.  In  using 
canned  fruit  use  very  little  sugar,  and  a  little  more  flour. 

Gooseberry  Pie. 

Take  gooseberries,  either  green  or  ripe,  and  stew  a  little  until  they 
break.  Sweeten  well;  dredge  with  a  very  little  flour,  and  bits  of 
of  butter.  Pour  in  a  pie  tin  lined  with  paste,  and  cover  with  an  upper 
crust.    Green  currants  can  be  used  this  way  also. 

Crust  for  Meat  Pies. 

One  quart  flour,  one  pint  of  sour  milk,  a  large  teaspoon  of  soda 
sifted  in  the  flour,  and  two  tablespoons  of  butter  or  lard.  Mix  soft. 
Or  the  above  recipe  can  be  used. 

Tarts. 

Make  a  nice  puff  paste,  roll  out  thin ;  cut  with  biscuit  cutter.  Cut 
out  the  center  of  some  of  them  and  lay  on  the  large  ones.  Fill  with 
jelly  or  jam.  2t

FICKLE S  are  considered  indispensible  on  a  table.  Pickles  are 
made  from  almost  everything  in  the  shape  of  vegetables  and 
fruit.  Any  kind  of  fruit  that  can  be  preserved  is  nice  for  sweet 
pickles,  including  the  rind  of  water  melons,  and  ripe  cucumbers. 
Home-made  pickles  are  tbe  best ;  for  usually  the  best  vinegar  is  em- 
ployed in  making  them,  and  good  cider  vinegar  is  very  necessary  to 
the  best  pickles.  Never  use  any  thing  but  a  porcelain  kettle  in  mak- 
ing them.  Keep  in  a  dry  cool  place.  If  a  white  mold  appears  on  the 
top  of  the  vinegar  scald  the  vinegar  over,  and  put  in  pieces  of  horse- 
radish or  mustard  seed.  Seal  sweet  pickles  while  hot.  In  cooking 
sweet  pickles  cook  until  they  can  be  easily  pierced  with  a  silver  fork. 
In  making  a  syrup  for  sweet  pickles  use  three  pints  of  best  brown 
sugar  to  a  quart  of  cider  vinegar.  If  ground  spices  are  used  tie  them 
up  in  a  little  bag,  and  throw  into  the  hot  syrup.  Watch  them  closely 
and  as  soon  as  a  white  scum  appears  scald  again,  and  if  necessary  add 
more  vinegar,  sugar  and  spices.  Whole  cloves  and  stick  cinnamon  are 
the  only  spices  necessary. 

Pickled  Beans. 

Take  young  butter  beans  and  cook  until  tender.  Put  in  brine 
made  of  one  cup  of  coarse  salt  and  two  quarts  of  water.  Let  them 
stand  a  day  or  so.  Take  out  and  drain.  Take  two  quarts  of  good 
cider  vinegar,  add  a  spoonful  each  of  pepper,  ginger,  cloves  and  mace. 
Boil  the  vinegar  and  pour  on  the  beans  while  hot.  Pour  off  and  boil 
the  vinegar  for  two  days  in  succession  aud  put  back  on  the  beans. 

Pickled  Beets. 

Boil  fine,  red  beets  until  they  are  tender.  Put  in  cold  water,  and 
slip  off  the  skin,  and  cut  in  slices  or  any  shape.  Cover  with  a  vinegar 
made  the  same  as  for  beans.    A  cup  of  sugar  can  be  added.  2u

To  Appreciate  Good  Cooking 

One  must  be  in  a  good  state  of  health.  Is  it  necessary  to  go 
to  a  doctor  for  every  little  ache  and  pain?  If  you  do  he  will 
laugh  at  you  and  charge  you  a  good,  round  fee.  How  can 
this  be  avoided?  By  keeping  in  your  house  a  line  of  good 
family  remedies,  that  have  stood  the  test  of  many  years,  being 
used  by  millions  for  all  ordinary  complaints.  There  are  many 
lines  of  family  medicines,  but  the  one  that  stands  head  and

Wadena,  Minn.,  Oct.  31, 1893. 
I  have  used  Dr.  Ward's  Liniment  for  four  years,  and 
have  found  it  a  great  benefit  to  my  family.    It  beats 
anything  I  have  ever  obtained  for  vomiting  in  children. 
It  is  also  very  good  for  colic  and  pains.    In  fact,  it  is  the 
best  general  purpose  medicine  I  have  ever  had  in  my 
house.    It  has  saved  me  some  doctor  bills.  I  would  not 
be  without  it  as  long  as  I  can  get  it. 

Yours  respectfully,

Having  used  your  liniment  for  about  two  years,  for

bruises;    also  for  pains  in  the  bowels,  coughs,  colic, 
cramps  and  many  other  diseases  common  to  humanity, 
I  can  highly  recommend  it  to  any  person  who  wants  to 
use  a  first-class  remedy.    Thanking  you  for  the  great,

enough  boiling  water  to  cover  them.  Let  them  stand  a  day  or  so. 
Drain  off  the  water  and  put  the  cucumbers  on  the  stove  in  cold  vine- 
gar. Let  them  come  to  a  boil.  Add  to  the  vinegar  a  cup  of  brown 
sugar,  a  few  slices  of  green  and  red  peppers,  apiece  of  horse-radish,  a 
few  sticks  of  cinnamon,  a  few  whole  cloves,  and  some  whole  mustard 
seed.  These  pickles  can  be  either  kept  in  a  stone  jar  or  sealed  up 
while  hot  in  bottles. 

Chow  Chow. 

Take  half  a  peck  of  small  cucumbers  and  let  them  stand  in  brine 
for  several  days.  Put  on  two  quarts  of  vinegar  in  which  has  been 
thrown  a  tablespoon  each  of  mustard  seed,  celery  seed,  three  green 
peppers,  a  few  small  onions  and  a  little  piece  of  alum.  Boil  the  pickles 
twenty  minutes  in  it.  Add  to  the  vinegar  two  pounds  of  sugar.  Scald 
the  vinegar  over  for  three  mornings.  Take  four  ounces  of  mustard, 
and  mix  with  the  vinegar ;  add  the  pickles  and  put  them  away  in  a  cool 
place. 

Small,  green  tomatoes,  beans,  small  white  onions,  mixed  with 
small  cucumbers  can  be  made  into  pickles  the  same  way.  An  ounce  of 
tumeric  adds  to  pickles. 

Tomato  Pickles. 

Take  one  peck  of  green  tomatoes  and  six  large  onions.  Slice  them 
and  put  on  them  a  cup  of  salt,  and  let  them  stand  over  night.  Drain 
well,  and  cook  them  in  a  gallon  of  cider  vinegar,  two  pounds  of  brown 
sugar,  half  a  pound  of  mustard  seed,  two  green  peppers  chopped  fine, 
a  tablespoon  each  of  allspice,  cinnamon,  cloves  and  ginger.  Boil 
twenty  minutes. 

Chopped  Pickles. 

Take  a  peck  of  green  tomatoes  and  chop  them  fine.  Mix  two  cups 
of  salt  with  them,  and  let  them  stand  over  night.  Drain  thoroughly ; 
cake  three  times  as  much  chopped  cabbage.  Let  the  cabbage  stand 
with  salt  on  the  same  time  as  the  tomatoes.  Cover  each  with  vinegar 
and  let  them  stand  awhile  longer.  Mix  together  by  putting  in  a  jar  in 
layers,  and  on  each  layer  put  chopped  green  peppers,  whole  mustard 
seed,  horse-radish,  cayenne  pepper.  Cover  with  a  gallon  of  hot  cider 
vinegar  in  which  has  been  put  a  cup  of  sugar.  A  few  onions  chopped 
fine  can  be  added.  2v

Ripe  Cucumber  Pickles. 

Cut  ripe,  solid  cucumbers  into  long  pieces,  about  three  inches 
long.  Remove  all  seeds.  Cook  in  water  and  salt  until  tender.  Soak 
in  alum  water  over  night,  using  a  lump  of  alum  the  size  of  a  hickory 
nut.  This  hardens  them,  and  makes  them  firm.  Drain  well  and  pour 
over  them  a  syrup  made  of  three  pints  of  sugar  to  a  quart  of  vinegar. 
Add  stick  cinnamon,  whole  cloves  and  mace  ;  about  two  tablespoons 
of  each.  Scald  the  syrup  and  replace  it  on  the  pickles  three  mornings 
in  succession.  Then  seal  and  put  in  a  cool  place.  Be  careful  not  to 
cook  too  soft.     Use  about  a  tablespoonful  of  salt  to  two  quarts  of  water. 

Water  Melon  Pickles. 

Pare  off  the  green  rind,  and  cut  in  oblong  pieces.  Make  and  pre- 
pare the  syrup  the  same  as  the  above  recipe  says.  Take  off  all  of  the 
red  part  of  the  melon.  Pickle  only  the  white  rind.  If  a  scum  rises 
skim  the  syrup. 

Peach  Pickles. 

Pare  freestone  peaches.  Put  in  a  jar  and  pour  over  them  a  syrup 
made  of  three  pints  of  sugar  to  a  quart  of  vinegar.  Skim  the  syrup 
well,  and  pour  on  the  fruit  boiling  hot.  Repeat  this  for  several  days. 
Put  pieces  of  cinnamon  and  cloves  between  the  layers  of  peaches  and 
stick  some  of  the  whole  cloves  in  the  fruit.  Lastly  scald  the  fruit, 
vinegar  and  spices  together.  Have  the  fruit  the  same  color  through- 
out.   If  there  is  not  syrup  enough  to  cover  them  well  prepare  more. 

Pear  Pickles. 

Cut  the  fruit  in  halves  and  pare  if  large,  if  small  leave  whole.  Pre- 
pare and  make  the  same  as  peach  pickles . 

Spiced  Currants. 

Put  a  tablespoon  each  of  cloves,  cinnamon,  mace  and  allspice  in  a 
bag  and  boil  with  four  pounds  of  currants,  two  of  sugar  and  one  pint 
of  vinegar.  Some  add  a  pound  of  raisins.  Seal  while  hot  in  glass  jars. 
Spice  blackberries  the  same  way ;  do  not  use  quite  so  much  sugar. 
Leave  out  the  spices  if  one  prefers.  2w

PRESERVES  AND  JELLIES. 


fHESE  are  usually  prepared  with  equal  weights  of  sugar  and 
fruit.  Most  people  prefer  preserves  not  so  sweet,  and  use  three- 
quarters  of  a  pound  of  sugar  to  a  pound  of  fruit  and  even  less. 
Prepare  the  syrup  and  clarify  it,  then  put  in  the  fruit.  Fruit  like 
quinces,  citron,  melon  rinds,  cherries,  currants,  etc.,  harden  if  first  put 
into  the  syrup.  Cook  in  a  little  water  until  tender,  or  in  a  weak  syrup 
first,  then  add  them  to  the  syrup.  In  very  soft  ripe  fruits  pour  the 
boiling  syrup  on  them  and  let  them  stand  over  night.  The  secret  of 
keeping  fruit  is  to  have  the  covers  of  the  cans  fit  securely,  and  keep 
the  fruit  in  a  dark,  cool  place. 

In  jellies  extract  the  juice  first  by  cooking  the  fruit  in  just  enough 
water  to  keep  it  from  burning,  and  strain  the  juice  through  a  coarse 
flannel  or  cotton  bag.  Hang  the  bag  over  the  kettle  and  let  it  drain.  The 
rule  is  usually  equal  measures  of  fruit  and  sugar ;  sweeten  less  if  pre- 
ferred. Boil  juice  first,  skim  and  add  the  sugar  and  boil  until  it  jellies 
when  a  little  of  it  is  cooled.  When  jelly  is  put  away  cover  the  top 
with  pieces  of  writing  paper  brushed  with  the  white  of  an  egg.  Some 
use  a  little  butter  to  grease  the  papers  or  wet  them  in  brandy. 

Citron  Preserves.\ 

Pare  off  the  rind  and  cut  in  thin  slices  two  inches  long.  Add 
equal  weights  of  sugar  and  fruit  and  boil  twenty  minutes.  Before 
adding  the  sugar  boil  tr^e  citron  in  a  little  water,  tender;  add  two 
sliced  lemons  to  each  pound  of  fruit.  Kemove  the  fruit  and  boil  the 
syrup  down  some,  put  in  the  fruit  and  boil  awhile  and  seal  in  cans  or 
jars. 

Peach  Preserves. 

Pare  the  peaches  and  remove  most  of  the  pits ;  leave  some  to 
give  the  syrup  a  flavor.  Make  a  syrup  of  three-quarters  of  a  pound 
of  sugar  to  one  of  fruit.  Add  water  enough  to  dissolve  the  sugar.  Skim 
and  clarify.  Add  the  fruit  in  small  quantities  at  a  time  and  cook 
eight  to  ten  minutes.  Skim  out  in  a  jar  and  put  in  more  fruit.  When 
all  done  fil  the  cans  with  the  syrup  and  seal  securely.  A  good  plan  is 
to  pour  off  the  syrup  the  next  day  and  scald,  and  return  to  the  can.

Pear  Preserves. 

Pare,  cut  in  halves,  prepare  and  make  exactly  the  same  as  peach 
preserves. 

Plum  Preserves. 

Take  plums,  wash  them  and  prick  each  plum  and  put  them  in  a 
stone  jar.  Make  a  thick  syrup  of  equal  weights  of  sugar  and  fruit. 
Pour  the  syrup  on  the  fruit,  and  let  it>tand  over  night ;  repeat  this'for 
three  days.  Put  fruit  and  syrup  in  a  porcelain  kettle  and  boil  for  an 
hour.     Put  in  stone  jars. 

Quince  Preserves. 

Pare,  core  and  quarter  or  slice  your  quinces ;  boil  till  tender  in 
a  little  water.  Take  out  and  drain.  Add  equal  weight  of  "sugar  to 
the  water,  replace  the  fruit  and  boil  until  clear.  Take  equal  parts  of 
quinces  and  quarters  of  nice  sweet  apples  and  preserve  as  for  quinces. 
Cook  the  parings  and  cores  and  use  the  water  for  jelly,  or  add  it  to  the 
sugar  for  the  syrup  of  the  quinces. 

Tomato  Preserves. 

Take  green  tomatoes  that  are  just  beginning  to  turn ;  if  red  a  little 
all  the  better.  Pare  and  slice.  Take  equal  weights  of  sugar  and  fruit 
and  cook  all  together  until  the  syrup  is  thick.  Add  one  or  two  lemons 
sliced  for  additional  flavor. 

Cider  Apple  Sauce. 

Pare  and  quarter  nice  sweet  apples,  put  them  in  boiled  cider 
enough  to  cover  them  and  boil  until  tender.  Any  kind  of  apples  can 
be  used. 

Apple  Jelly. 

Wash  and  quarter  large  crabs ;  cook  in  water  enough  to  keep  them 
from  burning.  Cook  to  a  pulp,  strain  according  to  directions.  Take 
three-quarters  of  a  bowl  of  sugar  to  a  bowl  of  juice.  Boil  the  juice 
twenty  minutes ;  add  the  sugar  and  boil  five  minutes  longer.  Try  it 
to  see  if  it  jellies. 

Preserved  Berries. 

To  preserve  strawberries,  raspberries,  currants,  cherries  or  black- 
berries, take  a  bowl  of  fruit  and  a  bowl  of  sugar.  Dissolve  the  sugar  in 
a  very  little  water  and  add  the  fruit ;  cook  until  soft ;  skim  as  it  needs  it. 
Cherries  should  be  stoned,  but  use  some  of  the  pits  for  flavor.  2y

Brandy  Peaches. 

Prepare  peaches  as  the  recipe  for  preserved  peaches  says,  and 
just  as  the  syrup  is  removed  from  the  fire,  add  half  a  cup  of  brandy  to 
a  pound  of  fruit. 

Grape  Jelly. 

Eub  the  fruit  through  a  sieve  ;  add  a  cup  of  sugar  to  a  cup  of  pulp 
or  three-quarters  as  much  sugar  as  pulp.  Boil  the  juice  twenty  minutes, 
and  add  the  sugar.    Boil  until  it  jellies. 

Quince  Jelly. 

Use  the  best  parts  of  the  fruit  for  preserves,  and  cook  the  skins, 
cores  and  hard  part  of  the  quince  for  jelly.  Boil  in  enough  water  to 
cover.  Mash  and  drain .  Add  equal  weight  of  sugar  and  juice.  Boil 
until  it  jellies. 

Currant  Jelly. 

Do  not  'have  the  currants  over-ripe.  Take  equal  parts  of  red  and 
white  currants  if  you  can  get  them.  Pick  over  and  remove  all  leaves 
and  poor  fruit.  Mash  them  in  a  kettle  and  drain  in  a  flannel  bag  for 
several  hours.  Take  a  bowl  of  sugar  to  a  bowl  of  juice.  Boil  the  juice 
twenty  minutes.  Skim  thoroughly ;  add  the  sugar  and  boil  five  minutes 
longer;  turn  into  glasses  and  let  them  remain  where  the  sun  can  shine 
on  them  several  hours  before  sealing.  Cover  them  with  a  paper 
dipped  in  brandy. 

Berry  Jam. 

Pick  over  and  mash  the  fruit ;  allow  a  pound  of  sugar  to  a  pound 
of  fruit.  Boil  until  the  jam  looks  dry  and  glistening,  and  no  moisture 
gathers.  This  answers  for  raspberries,  strawberries  or  blackberries. 
Equal  parts  of  red  and  black  raspberries  make  delicious  jam. 

Grape  Jam. 

Stew  the  grapes  in  a  little  water  and  press  the  fruit  through  a 
colander,  adding  a  little  water  to  get  all  the  pulp  through.  Add  sugar 
and  make  like  the  jam  above.  This  answers  for  plums  and  goose- 
berries. 

Wine  Jelly. 

Dissolve  one  box  of  gelatine  in  one  pint  of  cold  water ;  add  four 
coffee  cups  of  sugar  and  the  juice  and  rind  of  two  lemons ;  a  little  stick 
cinnamon.  Let  the  gelatine  stand  an  hour ;  add  the  sugar,  lemon, 
three  pints  of  boiling  water  and  one  pint  of  sherry.  Strain  into  molds 
and  let  it  stand  until  thick.  2z

PUDDINGS. 


rgVREPARE  your  butter,  eggs  and  sugar  as  for  cake.  Do  not  put  in 
[)  too  much  sugar,  as  it  is  apt  to  make  the  pudding  heavy.  Pud- 
dings are  either  boiled,  baked  or  steamed.  If  boiled  use  a  bag 
made  of  fine  drilling  with  a  tape  run  in  the  top,  or  a  tin  mold  with 
a  cloth  tied  securely  over  it.  Always  flour  your  bag  or  cloth  tied  over 
the  mold.  Let  the  water  entirely  cover  the  bag ;  leave  space  in  the 
bag  or  mold  for  the  pudding  to  swell ;  turn  it  over  frequently.  Boiled 
puddings  require  more  time  than  the  others.  Rice,  bread  and  fruit 
puddings  require  a  slow  fire,  and  some  time  in  baking.  Batter  and 
corn  starch  puddings,  a  quick  oven.  Steaming  answers  all  purposes 
and  is  the  most  convenient  and  wholesome.  Have  your  water  boiling 
and  steamer  hot  when  the  pudding  is  first  put  on,  and  do  not  let  the 
water  stop  boiling.  Replenish  if  necessary  from  the  tea  kettle  in  which 
the  water  is  hot.  Do  not  uncover  and  allow  the  steam  to  escape  until 
the  time  is  up.  If  these  directions  are  followed  a  light,  wholesome 
pudding  is  the  result,  if  not,  a  soggy,  heavy  one?  In  making  custards 
for  puddings  bring  your  milk  to  a  boil,  and  then  add  your  sugar  and 
salt,  and  lastly,  the  well  beaten  eggs.  If  corn  starch  is  used,  either 
dissolve  in  a  littld  cold  milk  or  stir  thoroughly  in  the  sugar ;  otherwise 
the  mixture  will  be  lumpy.  Stir  constantly  and  cook  always  in  a 
double  cooker ;  add  your  flavorings  after  removing  from  the  stove. 
Beat  yolks  and  whites  separately.  To  keep  your  custard  from  curdling 
a  good  plan  is  to  add  your  sugar  to  the  boiling  milk  and  then  the 
eggs. 

Apple  Pudding. 

One  egg,  small  half  cup  of  butter,  one  cup  of  sugar,  cup  of  sweet 
milk,  level  teaspoon  of  soda,  and  two  of  cream  of  tartar,  or  in  place 
of  sweet  milk  use  sour  milk,  or  butter  milk,  and  one-half  a  teaspoonful 
of  soda.  Line  sides  and  bottom  of  a  pudding  dish  with  quarters  of

PUDDING  SAUCES. 


In  making  sauces,  if  corn  starch  or  flour  is  used,  mix  thoroughly 
with  the  sugar  while  dry.  This  will  keep  lumps  from  forming.  Do 
not  boil  the  sauce  after  the  butter  is  added.  If  brandy  or  wine  is 
used,  flavor  after  removing  from  the  fire.  If  the  juice  or  rind  of  a 
lemon  or  orange  is  used  put  in  just  before  removing,  as  boiling  with 
any  of  the  grated  rind  is  apt  to  make  the  sauce  bitter.  Do  not  make 
your  sauce  until  ready  to  serve.  3g

Bread  Sauce. 

One  pint  of  milk,  two  tablespoons  of  fine  bread  crumbs,  two  table- 
spoons of  chopped  onion,  one  tablespoon  of  butter,  salt  and  pepper  to 
taste,  one  cup  of  coarse  crumbs.  Boil  the  fine  crumbs,  and  fry  the 
coarse  crumbs  in  the  butter.  Pour  the  sauce  on  the  game  and  sprinkle 
over  the  brown  bread  crumbs.  si 

To  Cure  Hiccough. — It  is  not  generally  known  that  a  piece  of  loaf 
sugar  will  instantly  stop  the  most  troublesome  hiccough. 

Candied  Lemon  Peel. — This  is  made  by  boiling  lemon-peel  with 
sugar,  then  exposing  it  to  the  air  until  the  sugar  crystallizes. 

Bed  bugs,  according  to  a  lady  correspondent,  have  a  great  aversion 
to  salt.  She  states  that  if  the  articles  and  places  infested  with  bed 
bugs  are  washed  with  salt  water,  and  the  crevices  in  which  the  ver- 
min hide  are  filled  with  it,  they  will  give  no  more  trouble. 

Lock  Jaw. — The  following  is  well  worth  saving  for  future  refer- 
ence: "  Locked  jaw  from  a  rusty  nail  in  the  foot  was  entirely  cured 
in  four  cases  reported  by  Dr.  Kinkle,  by  applying  to  the  whole  spinal 
column  cloths  saturated  with  chloroform,  just  at  the  approach  of  the 
spasm.  It  was  repeated  at  several  returns  of  the  spasm,  always  in- 
ducing sleep  and  finally  recovery." 

A  young  man  out  west  was  intrusted  with  the  money  to  bring  his 
father  home  a  good  family  sewing  machine.  He  carried  off  a  neigh- 
bor's daughter  to  Chicago,  married  her,  brought  her  home  and  said  : 
"  There,  father,  is  the  best  one  I  could  find." 

A  pretty  girl  and  a  wild  horse  are  liable  to  do  much  mischief ;  for 
the  one  runs  away  with  a  fellow's  body,  and  the  other  runs  away  with 
his  heart. 

Extremes. — Many  a  fool  has  passed  for  a  clever  man  because  he 
has  known  how  to  hold  his  tongue ;  and  many  a  clever  man  has  passed 
for  a  fool  because  he  has  not  known  how  to  make  use  of  it.

SALADS. 


^fc^jALADS  should  come  to  the  table  fresh,  crisp  and  cold.  To  crisp 
L^^  lettuce,  celery  or  cabbage  place  them  in  the  ice  chest  some 
U  time  before  serving.  Never  press  down  a  salad  to  get  it  into 
form.  In  arranging  the  salad  toss  it  lightly  with  a  fork.  Do  not  cover 
a  delicate  salad  with  hard  boiled  eggs  or  boiled  beets,  etc.  Keserve 
these  for  chicken,  veal  or  turkey  salads.  Use  the  white  leaves  of  the 
celery,  and  the  light  green  leaves  of  the  lettuce.  Always  tear  lettuce, 
do  not  cut  it.  Wash  it  thoroughly,  as  hot  house  lettuce  is  very  apt 
to  be  covered  with  little  green  lice.  Always  wash  all  vegetables 
thoroughly.  Cut  chicken  with  a  knife  not  to  fine.  Shave  cabbage 
with  a  sharp  knife,  and  cut  your  celery  into  small  pieces.  This  is 
better  than  chopping  it.  Rich  salads  like  chicken,  veal,  salmon, 
lobster,  and  shrimp  are  not  served  after  meats  at  dinner,  but  are  only 
appropriate  for  lunch  or  tea.  Vegetable  salads,  like  lettuce,  cucumber, 
potato,  tomato  or  cabbage  are  the  best  after  meats.  Do  not  add  the 
dressing  until  the  salad  is  ready  to  be  served.  Salads  can  be  garn- 
ished with  pieces  of  jelly,  celery  heads  and  the  heart  of  the  lettuce. 
Use  slices  of  lemon  for  all  kind  of  fish  salads.  Asparagus,  string 
beans  and  peas  must  all  be  boiled  in  salted  water  until  tender  before 
using.  In  mixing  dressings,  if  hard  boiled  eggs  are  used  powder  them 
with  the  back  of  a  spoon ;  beat  raw  eggs  very  light,  add  oil,  and  lastly 
vinegar.  A  dressing  should  be  ice  cold  before  putting  on  the  salad. 
When  oil  is  used  pour  in  a  drop  at  a  time  beating  well  all  the  time.  A 
nice  way  to  serve  fish  salads  is  in  shells  in  each  of  which  is  placed  a 
leaf  of  lettuce.  Chicken  salad  can  be  served  in  a  salad  dish  or  enough 
for  one  individual  can  be  placed  in  a  shell  made  of  two  leaves  of  let- 
tuce and  served  from  a  platter.  Use  the  Mayonnaise  or  cooked  dress- 
ing with  all  kinds  of  meat  or  fish  salads.  For  green  salads  use  a  plain 
or  French  dressing.  8m

Salad  Dressing.    1. 

Mash  the  yolks  of  two  hard  boiled  eggs,  add  one  teaspoon  each  of 
mustard  and  salt,  a  little  cayenne  pepper  and  a  pinch  of  black  pep- 
per, piece  of  butter  size  of  an  egg,  or  three  tablespoons  of  olive  oil, 
yolk  of  one  raw  egg,  one-half  cup  of  vinegar.  A  tablespoon  of  sugar 
improves  it.    This  is  excellent  for  any  kind  of  a  salad. 

French  Salad  Dressing. 

One  salt  spoon  of  salt,  one-half  salt  spoon  of  pepper,  three  table- 
spoons of  oil,  one  tablespoon  of  vinegar.  If  you  like  the  flavor  of 
onion,  add  one  tablespoon  of  onion  juice.  This  can  be  obtained  by 
grating  the  onion  with  a  coarse  grater.  To  prepare  this  put  the  salt 
and  pepper  in  a  cup,  add  the  oil  slowly,  and  then  the  vinegar.  This 
is  nice  for  lettuce  or  potato  salad. 

Simple  Salad   Dressing. 

Three  eggs,  one  tablespoon  each  of  sugar,  oil  and  salt,  small  table- 
spoon of  mustard,  cup  of  milk  and  one  of  vinegar.  Stir  oil,  sugar,  salt 
and  mustard  until  smooth,  add  eggs  and  vinegar  and  lastly  milk.  Put 
in  a  bowl  and  place  in  boiling  water  until  it  thickens.  This  is  enough 
to  use  several  times. 

Cream  Salad  Dressing. 

One-half  cup  of  vinegar,  a  piece  of  butter  the  size  of  an  egg,  yolk 
of  one  egg,  a  teaspoon  of  mustard,  half  a  teaspoon  of  salt,  a  little  cay- 
enne pepper,  two  tablespoons  of  sugar.  Cream  sugar,  butter,  mus- 
tard, egg  and  salt  together;  add  vinegar  and  put  in  a  bowl  in  boiling 
water  until  it  thickens  like  custard.  Remove  and  add  two  table- 
spoons of  thick  sweet  cream.  This  is  excellent  for  cabbage  or  lettuce 
salads  or  any  kind  of  a  salad. 

Quick  Salad  Dressing. 

This  can  be  made  at  the  table.  Yolk  of  an  egg,  tablespoon  of 
mustard,  pinch  of  salt,  six  tablespoons  of  olive  oil,  tablespoon  of  lemon 
juice.  Stir  yolk,  mustard  and  salt  until  they  thicken,  and  add  oil  drop 
by  drop,  stirring  all  the  time. 

Mayonnaise  Dressing  with  Butter. 

The  yolks  of  two  eggs,  one  level  teaspoon  of  salt,  one  of  pepper, 
two  of  white  sugar,  two  teaspoons  of  mustard,  one  tablespoon  of  but- 
ter, four  tablespoons  of  vinegar.  Stir  mixture  thoroughly.  Put  in  a 
bowl  in  hot  water  and  stir  until  it  thickens,  and  then  set  away  to  cool.

Mayonnaise  Dressing.     2. 

Beat  the  yolks  of  three  eggs  very  light,  add  a  tablespoon  of  sugar, 
tablespoon  of  mustard,  a  little  cayenne  pepper,  teaspoon  of  salt.  Beat 
all  to  a  cream,  put  in  a  bowl  set  in  ice  water  and  add  a  pint  of  olive 
oil,  dropping  in  gradually  a  few  drops  at  a  time  until  the  mixture  is 
thick  and  very  hard.  Thin  with  half  a  cup  of  vinegar  and  juice  of  half  a 
lemon.  A  cup  of  whipped  cream  makes  it  very  nice,  but  can  be 
omitted  without  injury  to  the  dressing.  This  can  be  doubled  for  a 
large  company. 

Chicken  Salad.    1. 

Free  one  cold  boiled  or  roasted  chicken  of  bones  and  skin.  Cut  the 
meat  into  little  dice  or  long  strips .  Season  with  salt  and  pepper.  There 
should  be  a  quart.  Have  a  pint  of  nice  tender  celery,  cut  into  small 
pieces  about  half  an  inch  thick.  Mix  with  the  meat  and  when  ready 
to  serve  pour  over  it  a  Mayonnaise  dressing.  Garnish  with  slices  of 
hard  boiled  eggs  or  dices  of  beets.  Serve  on  a  platter,  putting  enough 
for  one  individual  on  one  of  the  large  leaves  of  the  lettuce. 

Chicken  Salad.     £. 

Cut  up  one  chicken,  using  only  the  tender  meat,  add  one  cup  of 
cabbage,  shaved  very  fine  with  a  sharp  knife,  and  one  cup  of  celery 
cut  in  small  pieces.  Pour  over  it  a  Mayonnaise  dressing  (see  Mayon- 
naise dressing  with  butter).  Serve  in  a  salad  dish  garnished  with  the 
green  leaves  of  the  celery  and  the  small  leaves  of  the  lettuce. 

Turkey  Salad. 

This  is  especially  nice  in  preparing  for  a  large  company.  The 
meat  takes  the  place  of  chicken  and  is  just  as  nice.  Make  the  same  as 
chicken  salad,  using  half  cabbage  and  half  celery.  Garnish  with 
slices  of  cold  hard  boiled  eggs  and  the  green  leaves  of  the  celery. 

Lettuce  Salad. 

Wash  each  leaf  carefully.  Drain  and  keep  in  a  cool  place  until 
ready  to  serve.  Put  the  leaves  in  a  salad  bowl,  the  light  ones  in  the 
center.  Tear  some  of  the  larger  ones  and  arrange  around  these. 
Pour  over  all  a  French  dressing.  A  cream  dressing  can  be  used  if  de- 
sired. 3o

Cucumber  Salad. 

Take  two  cucumbers  and  cut  off  about  one  inch  of  the  point.  Cut 
in  very  thin  slices,  and  soak  in  salt  and  water  for  an  hour.  Take  two 
heads  of  lettuce,  tear  in  small  pieces.  Drain  the  cucumber  and  put 
with  the  lettuce  in  a  salad  bowl.  Serve  with  a  French  or  cream  dress- 
ing.   Cucumber  can  be  used  without  the  lettuce. 

Potato  Salad. 

Take  one  quart  of  potatoes  cut  in  slices  while  hot.  Cut  in  thin 
slices  one  or  two  onions,  or  use  two  tablespoons  of  grated  onion ;  add 
a  little  chopped  parsley.  Pour  over  all  any  kind  of  dressing,  enough  to 
make  it  very  moist.  Place  sprigs  of  parsley  around  the  dish,  and 
serve  cold.  Bits  of  cold  fried  salt  pork  or  bacon  are  nice  mixed  with 
the  salad. 

Cucumber  and  Tomato  Salad. 

Place  a  layer  of  crisp  lettuce  in  the  bottom  of  a  salad  dish,  a  layer 
of  sliced  cucumbers  prepared  as  the  above  recipe  says,  then  a  layer  of 
sliced  tomatoes.    Pour  either  a  French  or  Mayonnaise  over  the  whole. 

Tomato  Salad. 

Slice  large  tomatoes,  arrange  on  a  bed  of  crisp  lettuce,  sprinkle 
with  a  little  sugar  and  pepper,  and  pour  over  all  a  cream  dressing. 
Garnish  with  celery  tips. 

Salmon  Salad. 

Take  one  can  of  salmon,  break  in  small  pieces,  add  a  little  salt, 
pepper,  half  a  cup  of  vinegar,  throw  in  a  few  whole  cloves,  a  little 
chopped  onion  if  wished.  Let  this  stand  for  two  hours.  Pour  this  off 
and  put  the  salmon  in  a  circle  of  lettuce  leaves,  and  pour  a  Mayon- 
naise dressing  over  it.  Garnish  with  hard  boiled  eggs,  and  slices  of 
lemon.  Fresh  salmon  can  be  used  the  same  way.  Celery  can  be  used 
with  the  lettuce.     Serve  in  shells  lined  with  lettuce. 

Lobster  Salad. 

Cut  up  the  lobster  like  chicken,  season  with  a  French  dressing. 
Let  it  stand  until  ready  to  serve.  Then  tear  up  one-third  as  much 
lettuce,  mix  with  the  lobster,  and  serve  in  a  nest  made  of  two  large 
lettuce  leaves.  Mix  half  of  the  Mayonnaise  dressing  with  the  lobster. 
Put  a  tablespoon  of  the  prepared  lobster  in  the  nest  with  a  tablespoon 
of  the  Mayonnaise  dressing.  Serve  in  a  platter.  Garnish  with  pars- 
ley. A  nice  way  to  serve  a  small  company  is  to  serve  the  salad  in 
shells  for  this  purpose,  in  each  of  which  is  placed  a  leaf  of  lettuce.      3p

Oyster  Salad. 

Take  a  quart  of  oysters,  and  let  them  come  to  a  boil  in  their  own 
liquor.  Season  with  salt,  pepper,  tablespoon  of  lemon  juice,[and  three 
tablespoons  of  vinegar.  Put  in  the  ice  chest,  and  let  them  become 
thoroughly  cold.  Put  in  a  bowl  and  stick  in  the  little  tender  celery 
tops  and  some  of  the  celery  cut  up.  Pour  over  all  a  Mayonnaise  dress- 
ing, and  garnish  with  white  celery  leaves.  Any  kind  of  a  dressing  is 
nice  with  the  oysters. 

Cabbage  Salad. 

Take  one  quart  of  finely  shaved  cabbage  and  add  two  large  slices 
of  onion  chopped  fine.  Take  two  tablespoons  of  bacon  or  fat  pork, 
one  teaspoonful  of  sugar,  half  a  cup  of  vinegar,  salt  and  pepper.  Fry 
the  onion  in  the  fat ;  add  the  other  ingredients  until  boiling.  Pour  hot 
over  the  cabbage  and  serve. 

Cabbage  Salad.     2. 

Take  equal  parts  of  finely  shaved  cabbage  and  celery ;  pour  on  it 
a  plain  salad  dressing.  Garnish  with  the  boiled  whites  of  the  eggs 
and  the  green  leaves  of  the  celery. 

Shrimp  Salad. 

Take  one  can  of  shrimps,  halve  or  chop  them.  Take  one-half  as 
much  celery  or  lettuce  ;  pour  over  all  any  kind  of  Mayonnaise  dress- 
ing. Garnish  with  a  border  of  lettuce  leaves,  or  prepare  the  salad  the 
same  as  for  salmon  salad.    Serve  in  shells. 

Bean  Salad. 

Cook  string  beans  until  tender  in  salted  water ;  cut  them  in  halves 
or  quarters.     Pour  over  them  a  French  dressing  and  serve  cold. 

Beet  Salad. 
Take  cold  beets  cut  in  small  pieces.    Mix  with  pieces  of  lettuce 
and  garnish  with  celery  tips.    Pour  over  all  dressing  No.  1,  or  a  French 
dressing. 

Sardine  or  Fish  Salad. 

One  quart  of  any  kind  of  cold  cooked  fish  freed  from  all  bones. 
Place  on  a  bed  of  crisp  lettuce.  Split  six  sardines  and  remove  any

Apologies  for  Marrying. — Many  strange  apologies  have  been

Wilkes  wedded  to  please  his  friends.  Wycherly,  in  his  old  age,  took 
his  servant  girl  to  spite  his  relations.  The  Russians  have  a  story  of  a

took  another  to  keep  her  from  fretting  herself  to  death.

SOUPS. 


rt0A  OUPS  are  made  from  meat,  fish  and  vegetables,  with  water  or 
|S^  milk.  They  are  classified  according  to  material,  color,  quality, 
^U  etc.  When  soup  is  made  of  stock,  meat  is  the  basis.  To  make 
nutritious,  healthful  soups,  requires  study  and  practice.  Always  have 
materials  on  hand  such  as  dried  herbs,  rice,  okra,  vermicelli,  onions, 
carrots,  whole  as  well  as  ground  spices.  Parsley  is  another  necessary 
article.  With  these  soups  can  be  make  from  scraps  of  meat  left  from 
a  meal.  Pieces  of  steak,  bones  of  roast  beef  or  veal  make  a  good 
stock.  Save  the  water  in  which  chickens,  beef  tongues  or  leg  of  mutton 
are  cooked.  The  carcass  of  a  turkey,  in  which  are  remnants  of  the 
dressing,  cooked  slowly  makes  an  excellent  soup.  It  is  not  necessary 
to  buy  meat  expressly  for  the  purpose  of  making  soup  stock. 

By  stock  we  mean  a  liquid  containing  the  juice  and  soluble  parts 
of  meat  and  bone,  which  has  been  extracted  by  slow  cooking.  Stock 
made  from  meat  without  bone  or  gristle  will  not  jelly  when  cold. 
Stock  can  be  made  from  the  cheapest  inferior  parts  of  meat,  whieh  yield 
the  most  nutriment  when  cooked.  When  buying  meat  for  stock  select 
a  piece  from  the  shin  or  lower  part  of  the  round  of  beef  or  veal.  This 
has  a  bone  with  marrow,  and  a  large  proportion  of  gelatine.  Stock 
made  from  roasted  or  browned  meats  is  the  most  nutritious.  A  bay 
leaf  adds  greatly  to  the  flavor  of  soup.  Always  put  your  meat  or  soup 
bone  into  cold  water  without  salt,  and  let  it  cook  slowly  for  several 
hours.  Cover  closely ;  thus  keep  the  flavor  of  the  meat  from  escap- 
ing with  the  steam,  and  also  prevents  it  from  being  reduced  too 
quickly  by  evaporation.  Skim  the  stock  several  times,  and  when  the 
meat  is  reduced  to  rags,  strain,  and  put  away  in  an  earthen  jar.  When 
cold  remove  the  grease  from  the  top.  This  is  the  basis  of  several 
kinds  of  soups,  and  will  keep  in  a  cool  place  for  some  time.  Soups 
can  be  served  thin,  or  thickened  with  flour,  corn  starch  and  different 
vegetables.  Do  not  put  away  stock  with  vegetables  in  it,  as  they  are 
apt  to  sour  it.  For  coloring  soups  brown,  use  caramel,  browned  flour 
and  onions  browned  in  butter.  Caramel  can  be  made  by  boiling  one 
cup  of  sugar  and  two  teaspoons  of  water  in  a  sauce  pan  until  brown  ; 
then  add  half  a  cup  of  water  and  boil  for  a  few  minutes.  Serve  soups  with

bread  browned  in  the  oven,  and  cut  in  small  dice,  or  squares  of  bread 
thrown  into  boiling  fat,  and  browned.  Serve  with  oyster  soup  crack- 
ers crisped  in  a  hot  oven.  Clear  stock  by  removing  the  fat,  and  using 
the  white  of  an  egg  for  every  quart  of  stock.  Do  not  add  the  egg  when 
the  stock  is  hot,  but  set  it  on  the  fire  and  stir  all  the  time,  until  it 
comes  to  a  boil.  A  scum  will  form  which  when  taken  off  leaves  the 
liquid  clear  and  sparkling.  Always  strain  thoroughly.  Cook  your 
vegetables  that  require  long  boiling,  as  rice,  sago,  macaroni,  tapioca, 
etc.,  separately,  then  add  the  stock.  Serve  with  clear  soups  slices  of 
lemon,  yolks  of  hard  boiled  eggs,  force  meat  balls,  or  a  spoonful  of 
grated  Parmesau  cheese  on  each  plate.  The  nicest  of  clear  soups  is 
the  French,  called  Consomme. 

For  five  pounds  of  clear  meat  and  bone  use  about  six  quarts  of 
water.  Add  a  pinch  of  sugar  to  all  soups.  Thick  soups  require  more 
seasoning  than  thin  ones.  Never  use  any  kind  of  meat  that  is  the 
least  bit  tainted,  as  the  stock  witl  taste  of  it.  Cayenne  pepper,  Worces- 
tershire, Halford  or  Chili  sauces  and  catsup  are  used  by  some,  but 
must  be  used  cautiously.  Wine  is  also  used  by  some  for  the  extra 
flavor.  If  soup  is  salted  too  much  modify  by  adding  a  little  sugar  and 
a  tablespoon  of  vinegar. 

Asparagus  Sauce. 

Two  bundles  of  asparagus,  one  quart  of  stock,  one  pint  of  milk, 
one  cup  of  cream,  three  tablespoons  of  butter,  three  of  flour,  one  onion, 
salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Cut  off  the  tops  and  cook  awhile  in  salted 
water ;  cook  the  remainder  until  done.  Cut  the  onion  in  small  pieces, 
and  fry  in  the  butter,  add  flour  and  then  add  the  stock  and  asparagus. 
Boil  twenty  minutes,  strain  and  add  the  milk  and  cream. 

Bouillon. 

Melt  one  tablespoonful  of  butter  in  a  sauce  pan,  add  one-half  an 
onion  sliced  very  thin.  Cook  until  the  onion  is  browned,  then  add 
one  and  one-half  pounds  of  finely  chopped  beef  (that  from  the  round 
being  best),  one  and  one-half  pints  of  cold  water.  Cover  the  pan  and 
let  all  simmer  gently  for  two  hours.  Strain,  and  return  to  the  kettle, 
and  boil  Beat  the  white  of  an  egg  with  one-half  cup  of  water,  add 
this  to  the  bouillon,  and  boil  four  minutes,  strain,  and  if  it  is  too  light 
add  caramel,  but  have  it  very  clear.  3t

crumbs,  and  serve  hot.  If  desired  add  three  potatoes,  a  small  piece  of 
turnip  and  a  parsnip,  all  cut  up  fine.  An  onion  gives  the  soup  a  nice 
flavor.

ter. Salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Rice  soup  can  be  made  by  using  rice 
in  place  of  barley.  4a

VEGETABLES. 


fjjg)  Y  VEGETABLES  we  mean  such  plants  as  are  used  for  food,  and 
[gp  comprise  all  parts  of  the  plant  from  the  root  to  the  leaves- 
The  fresher  the  vegetables  are  the  better.  They  should  be 
washed  and  cleaned  thoroughly  in  cold  water,  and  cooked  in  boiling 
water.  Always  salt  the  water  in  the  proportion  of  a  teaspoonful  of  salt 
to  a  quart  of  water.  The  time  of  cooking  varies  with  the  age  of  the 
vegetable.  All  should  be  cooked  until  tender,  and  no  longer.  String 
beans,  turnips,  parsnips,  carrots  and  cauliflower  require  from  one  to 
two  hours.  Potatoes  boiled  require  thirty  minutes ;  fcbaked  forty-five. 
Onions  are  best  put  in  warm  salt  water  for  awhile  before  cooking ;  this 
removes  the  strong  odor.  In  cooking  greens  add  salt  and  a  pinch  of 
soda  to  preserve  the  color.  Add  a  pinch  of  soda  always  to  any  kind  of 
beans.  This  removes  the  strong,  beany  taste.  Old  potatoes  should  be 
soaked  in  cold  water  some  time  before  cooking.  In  cooking  potatoes 
remove  and  drain  as  soon  as  done.  Uncover  a  little  to  let  the  steam 
out,  and  place  on  the  back  of  the  stove  to  dry  out.  This  makes  them 
mealy.  »The  secret  of  mealy  potatoes  is  to  cook  them  rapidly  and  re- 
move and  drain  as  soon  as  done.  Try  with  a  fork,  and  if  soft,  drain. 
Some  prick  baked  potatoes  as  soon  as  done  or  squeeze  a  little.  This 
lets  out  the  steam  and  keeps  them  from  being  watery.  Raw  potatoes 
that  are  to  be  fried  should  be  sliced  thin,  and  soaked  in  cold  water. 
This  draws  out  the  starch  and  makes  them  crisp  instead  of  mealy. 

Asparagus. 

Wash  and  clean  thoroughly.  Use  only  the  tender  part  of  the 
stalk.  Cut  off  any  that  is  white.  Boil  in  salted  water.  Boil  the  stalk 
first,  and  then  throw  in  the  tips.  When  tender  season  with  a  little 
cream,  lump  of  butter  and  pepper  to  taste.  The  asparagus  can  be 
cooked  whole  and  served  with  melted  butter.  4b 


150  COMMON  SENSE  COOK  BOOK. 


Asparagus  on  Toast. 

Prepare  as  above,  only  leave  the  stalks  whole.  "When  tender  put 
in  a  lump  of  butter,  pepper  and  a  little  thickening  if  one  likes  it,  and 
pour  it  over  slices  of  toasted  bread.  The  water  must  be  boiled  down 
so  as  to  leave  just  enough  for  the  gravy.  Use  a  teaspoon  of  corn 
starch  for  thickening. 

String  Beans. 

String  by  cutting  off  the  ends  of  the  pods.  Cut  in  inch  pieces  or 
break.  Boil  from  one  to  two  hours  until  perfectly  tender.  Beans  re- 
quire longer  time  than  most  vegetables.  Throw  in  a  pinch  of  soda 
just  before  draining.  Add  a  cup  of  cream  or  part  milk,  a  piece  of  but- 
ter, salt  and  pepper  to  taste.  Shelled  beans  should  be  prepared  with 
the  same  kind  of  dressing,  only  they  do  not  require  as  great  a  length  of 
time  to  cook  tender. 

Baked  Beans. 

Pick  over  and  wash  one  quart  of  beans,  soak  in  plenty  of  water 
over  night.  In  the  morning  pour  off  the  water ;  cover  with  hot  water 
and  let  them  come  to  a  boil.  Pour  off  this  water  and  add  more.  Boil 
until  they  begin  to  split.  Put  the  beans  in  an  earthen  jar  or  crock 
always  saved  for  this  purpose.  Throw  in  a  pinch  of  soda.  Put  in  the 
bottom  one  pound  of  good  fat  and  lean  salt  pork.  Mix  a  little  mustard 
with  two  tablespoons  of  molasses,  and  a  little  water.  Have  water  to 
cover  the  beans.  Bake  all  day.  Watch  them  and  if  they  need  any 
more  seasoning  and  water  add  it.  Some  add  a  little  chopped  onion 
for  additional  flavor  or  put  two  slices  of  an  onion  on  top  of  beans. 

Boiled  Dinner. 

Use  a  nice  piece  of  corn  beef,  put  on  in  warm  water  and  when  it 
comes  to  a  boil  pour  off  the  water  and  add  enough  more  to  cover  well. 
Skim  off  the  scum  as  it  rises.  Before  the  vegetables  are  put  in  remove 
the  meat  and  put  in  vegetables  as  follows :  Turnips  cut  in  slices,  cook 
awhile  and  then  add  cabbage  cut  in  quarters,  pototoes  whole  and  a 
few  carrots  or  parsnips.  Beets  should  be  boiled  in  some  of  the  liquor 
separately.  After  removing  the  vegetables  put  in  the  meat  for  a  few 
minutes  to  heat  through.  Serve  cabbage  and  beets  in  separate  dishes. 
Place  turnips  and  carrots  or  parsnips  on  the  platter  with  the  meat. 
Season  with  butter,  pepper  and  vinegar  to  suit  the  individual  taste. 
Prepare  the  beets  as  the  recipe  below  says.  4c

Beets. 

Cook  whole.  Do  not  break  off  fibers  or  roots,  or  peel,  as  the  juices 
escape.  Cook  from  one  to  five  hours.  When  tender  drop  in  cold 
water  and  slip  off  the  skins.  Slice  in  a  dish,  add  pieces  of  butter,  pep- 
per and  salt ;  pour  over  a  little  vinegar  and  let  them  stand  in  a  hot  oven 
a  few  minutes.  Serve  hot.  Place  some  of  the  beets  in  vinegar  and  a 
few  pieces  of  horse  radish  on  top  and  let  stand  for  a  day  or  so  for 
pickles. 

Beet  Greens. 

Wash  the  young  beets  and  tips  very  thoroughly.  Cook  in  salted 
water  with  a  piece  of  salt  pork.  Take  out  and  drain  and  dress  with 
butter,  pepper  and  vinegar. 

Corn  Oysters. 

One  cup  of  flour,  half  a  cup  of  butter,  three  tablespoons  of  milk, 
teaspoon  of  salt,  pepper,  one  pint  of  grated  corn.  Pour  corn  on  the 
flour,  add  the  rest  and  fry  in  the  frying  pan  in  which  is  hot  fat  to  the 
depth  of  two  inches.    Put  in  batter  by  spoonfuls. 

Boiled  Corn. 

Clean  off  all  the  silk  carefully  and  cut  the  heads  off  the  cob.  Boil 
in  salt  water  three-quarters  of  an  hour,  or  cut  the  corn  (after  it  is 
cleaned)  with  a  sharp  knife  from  the  cob.  Stew  with  a  little  water. 
When  tender  add  milk,  butter,  pepper  and  salt  to  taste.  Beaten  eggs 
added  makes  a  rich  dish. 

Cauliflower . 

Take  off  the  green  leaves  and  stalk,  put  on  to  cook  in  boiling  water. 
Boil  for  an  hour  or  longer  until  tender ;  pour  off  water  and  add  a  cream 
sauce.    It  is  a  good  plan  to  let  it  soak  in  salt  water  before  cooking. 

Succotash. 

Take  equal  quantities  of  shelled  beans  and  corn  cut  from  the  cob. 
Cook  each  separately  until  tender.  Mix  together  and  season  with 
cream  and  milk,  a  large  piece  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  A  little 
sugar  if  one  likes  it.  Succotash  can  be  made  from  canned  corn  and  dry 
beans  the  same  way.  The  beans  must  be  soaked  over  night  and  boiled 
until  tender  before  adding  them  to  the  corn.     Season  as  above. 

Cabbage. 

Slice  with  a  sharp  knife  very  fine,  put  in  a  stew  pan  and  add  a  lit- 
tle water.  Cover  closely  and  cook  until  tender.  Add  milk,  butter, 
pepper  and  salt  to  taste,  or  a  cream  sauce.  4d 


152  THE   WEINHOLD  DRUG  CO. 

Fried  Cabbage. 

Slice  cabbage  fine,  place  in  a  pan  in  which  are  some  pieces  of  bacon 
or  salt  pork,  previously  fried  a  little.  Add  a  little  water,  cover  closely 
and  cook  down  until  brown.  Some  add  a  little  vinegar  just  before  re- 
moving from  the  stove.  Cabbage  is  considered  indigestable,  and  some 
boil  it  with  a  small  piece  of  red  pepper  and  change  the  water  once  or 
twice.    It  is  more  wholesome  served  as  a  salad. 

Celery  with  Cream  Sauce. 

Wash  and  scrape  celery,  cut  in  pieces  two  inches  long.  Boil  half 
an  hour,  drain  off  water  and  add  a  cream  sauce.    (See  sauces.) 

Egg  Plant. 

Cut  the  plant  in  slices,  pare  these  and  cover  with  boiling  water  in 
which  has  been  put  a  teaspoonful  of  salt ;  let  this  stand  an  hour. 
Drain,  and  pepper  the  slices  and  dip  in  beaten  egg  and  bread  crumbs. 
Fry  the  piec  es  in  boiling  fat.  Or  the  slices  can  be  fried  in  just  enough 
pork  fat  or  >acon  to  brown  them. 

Macaroni  and  Cheese. 

Boil  about  four  ounces  of  macaroni,  broken  up  in  small  pieces  in 
a  little  salted  water  about  fifteen  minutes.  Grate  a  quantity  of  cheese. 
Put  in  an  earthen  dish  a  layer  of  macaroni,  a  layer  of  grated  cheese, 
bits  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt,  another  layer  of  macaroni,  then  cheese 
until  the  dish  is  full.  Pour  over  it  all  enough  milk  and  cream  to  come 
to  the  top.    Bake  slowly  three-quarters  of  an  hour. 

Macaroni  with  Tomato. 

Boil  in  a  little  salted  water  a  little  macaroni  (about  a  cupful) 
a  few  minutes,  pour  over  it  a  quart  of  canned  tomatoes.  Season  with 
pieces  of  butter,  salt,  pepper,  a  little  minced  onion  and  sprinkle  sifted 
bread  crumbs  on  top.    Bake  in  hot  oven  three-quarters  of  an  hour. 

Italian  Macaroni. 

Take  a  piece  of  beef,  about  two  pounds,  half  a  pound  of  salt  pork, 
two  chopped  onions.  Let  all  cook  for  awhile ;  add  a  quart  of  toma- 
toes, pepper  and  salt,  and  cook  all  for  three  hours.  Boil  a  sufficient 
quantity  of  macaroni  fifteen  minutes,  put  a  layer  in  a  dish,  cover  with 
some  of  the  mixture  above,  a  layer  of  grated  cheese  and  so  on  until  the 
dish  is  filled.    Bake  an  hour.  4e

Boiled  Onions  in  Cream. 

Wash  and  peel,  cook  in  salted  water  until  tender ;  do  not  pour  off 
all  the  water.  Add  a  cup  of  cream  or  milk,  piece  of  butter,  and  pepper 
and  salt  to  taste. 

Fried  Onions. 

Cut  in  thin  slices,  boil  in  a  little  salted  water.  Add  a  generous 
supply  of  butter  or  beef  drippings ;  season.  Cover  closely  and  fry  un- 
til brown. 

Scalloped  Onions. 

Slice  large  onions  in  thin  slices.  Put  in  a  dish  a  layer  of  bread 
crumbs,  pieces  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt,  then  a  layer  of  the  onion. 
Do  this  until  the  dish  is  full.  Moisten  with  milk  enough  to  fill  up  the 
dish.    Bake  an  hour. 

Green  Peas. 

Boil  green  peas  until  tender ;  drain.  Put  in  a  sauce  pan  two  table- 
spoons butter,  one  of  flour,  a  little  sugar.  Stir  until  well  mixed ;  add 
a  cup  of  cream,  the  peas  and  let  all  come  to  a  boil. 

Prepare  canned  peas  in  the  same  way.  Leave  out  the  thickening 
and  sugar  if  one  prefers. 

Potatoes,  Boiled  or  Baked. 

Peel  and  put  to  soak  in  cold  water.  Select  ones  as  near  of  a  size 
as  possible ;  leave  the  small  ones  to  be  cooked  for  mashed  potatoes. 
Boil  thirty  minutes  in  boiling  water  in  which  has  been  thrown  a  hand- 
ful of  salt.  Try  with  a  fork  and  remove  as  soon  as  done.  Drain  and 
set  on  the  back  of  the  stove  with  the  cover  partly  off  to  let  the  steam 
escape.  Clean  potatoes  for  baking  with  a  small  brush.  Cut  out  all 
the  black  spots,  and  bake  from  half  to  three-quarters  of  an  hour. 
Baked  potatoes  should  not  stand  a  moment,  but  be  served  immediately. 

Scalloped  Potatoes. 

Take  potatoes  and  slice  thin,  put  in  a  dish  in  layers.  Between  put 
bits  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  Pour  over  enough  sweet  milk  to  fill 
the  dish.  Bake  three-quarters  of  an  hour.  Cold  boiled  potatoes  can 
be  used  in  place  of  raw. 

Lyonnaise  Potatoes. 

One  quart  of  cold  boiled  potatoes  cut  into  small  slices,  one  chopped 
onion,  three  tablespoons  of  butter.  Season  with  chopped  parsley, 
salt  and  pepper.  Fry  onions  in  the  butter,  then  add  potatoes.  Stir 
arefully  so  as  not  to  break.    Serve  on  a  hot  dish.  4f 


154  THE   WEINHOLD  DRUG  CO. 

Mashed  Potatoes. 

After  boiled  potatoes  are  drained,  mash  thoroughly ;  add  milk, 
cream,  a  piece  of  butter,  and  stir  until  smooth.  The  longer  they  are 
beaten  the  better.  Put  in  a  vegetable  dish.  Smooth  and  press  down 
with  a  spoon  and  knife.  Put  bits  of  butter  on  top,  and  a  little  pepper. 
Place  in  a  hot  oven  for  a  few  minutes. 

Potato  Balls. 

Take  mashed  potatoes  left  from  dinner,  mix  with  the  yolk  of  an 
egg  and  a  little  flour,  pepper  and  salt,  a  little  chopped  parsley  and 
butter.  If  not  moist  enough  add  a  little  cream.  Mold  into  balls  with 
the  hand,  and  fry  or  bake  brown. 

Creamed  Potatoes. 

Cut  cold  boiled  potatoes  into  cubes  or  slices.  Cover  with  milk, 
season  with  pieces  of  butter,  salt,  pepper  and  chopped  parsley. 

Saratogo  Potatoes. 

Cut  in  thin  slices  and  fry  in  boiling  fat.  Skim  out  and  put  in  a 
covered  dish.     Sprinkle  over  a  little  pepper  and  salt. 

Sweet  Potatoes. 

These  can  be  baked  or  boiled.  They  are  the  best  baked.  When 
cold  they  can  be  fried  or  creamed  the  same  as  other  potatoes.  They 
are  nice  cooked  till  tender  and  browned  with  roast  beef. 

Rice. 

Rice  should  be  thoroughly  washed  in  several  waters.  It  is  cooked 
in  several  ways.    It  is  the  best  steamed. 

Steamed  Rice. — To  one  cup  of  rice  add  two  cups  of  boiling  water, 
and  half  a  teaspoonful  of  salt.  Cook  in  a  double  boiler  half  an  hour. 
Stir  with  a  fork  to  let  the  steam  escape,  and  cover.     Cook  until  the 

water  is  absorbed  and  the  rice  is  tender. 

Savory  Rice. 

Fry  a  table  spoonful  of  chopped  onion  in  one  of  butter  until  yellow. 
Add  one  cup  of  uncooked  rice.  Then  add  one  pint  of  chicken  stock 
and  steam  thirty  minutes  in  a  double  boiler.  This  is  an  excellent  side 
dish.  Season  if  desired  fcwith  cayenne  pepper,  chopped  parsley  and 
herbs.  4g

Squash. 

Squash  can  be  either  steamed  or  baked.  If  steamed  remove  from 
shell,  and  mash  and  season  with  a  liberal  supply  of  butter,  a  little 
pepper  and  salt.  If  baked,  cut  in  small  pieces  and  serve.  Let  each 
individual  season  his  own  to  taste. 

Turnips. 

Cook  these  from  one  to  two  hours.  Cut  in  thin  slices.  Mash  fine 
and  season  with  butter,  pepper  and  salt.  Some  pour  white  sauce  over 
them. 

Parsnips. 

These,  to  be  fit  to  eat,  should  remain  in  the  ground  during  the 
winter.  Boil,  cut  into  half -inch  pieces  and  serve  with  cream  sauce, 
or  fry  pieces  in  frying  pan  with  lard  or  drippings. 

Tomatoes. 

Scald,  peel  and  cut  in  slices.  Cook  as  rapidly  as  possible.  Sea- 
son with  a  large  piece  of  butter,  pepper  and  salt,  and  a  little  sugar. 
Canned  tomatoes  can  be  used  the  same  way.  Serve  with  toast  if  de- 
sired.   A  little  minced  onion  flavors  them  nicely.  4h
